This image displays a close-up photograph of page 41 from a book. The page features text in Bulgarian. The top left corner includes the author's name, "Хулио Кортасар" (Julio Cortázar), below which is the title "Милонга" (Milonga). A decorative geometric line with a small intricate design extends horizontally across the top of the page, leading to the page number "41" in the upper right. The visible text begins with an introductory stanza mentioning "Tama Cedron¹" and "milonga" with music by "Едгардо Кантон²" (Edgardo Canton), indicating footnotes. The main body of the poem starts with a large, stylized initial "Л" (L), part of the word "Липсва" (Missing/Absent). The poem discusses themes such as the Southern Cross ("Южният кръст"), thirst, black wine, slumbering shops, the scent of trembling grass, the skin of the night, a pocket where a hand incessantly searches for coins, a knife, a comb, and a tireless hand on a dark memory counting one's dead. The final lines mention the "Южният кръст горчивото мате" (Southern Cross, the bitter mate) and "гласовете на приятели отправлени към други" (voices of friends addressed to others). The paper is off-white with a visible fine grain texture. There is a subtle, light brown smudge or discoloration in the upper central area of the page. The image provides no visual information to determine its specific location within the city of Sofia, Bulgaria.
