Vera Mutafchieva

Born in 1929 in Sofia, the daughter of the Byzantinist historian Petar Moutaftchiev, she in turn made history her profession and became an Ottomanist: she defended a first thesis in 1958, became a doctor of sciences in 1978 and an academician in 2004. She published fiction from 1961, and her historical novels, often reissued, have been translated into more than ten languages. The declassified archives of the State Security have established that she had been recruited as an agent in 1969. She died in Sofia in June 2009.
