Mormarevi Brothers ((ブルガリア語:Братя Мормареви) / Bratya Mormarevi) is the joint pen name of Moritz Yomtov ((ブルガリア語:Мориц Йомтов)) and Marko Stoychev ((ブルガリア語:Марко Стойчев)) - two Bulgarian authors of humorous prose and screenplays. They worked from the 1960s until the end of the 1980s. The two were longtime friends but not actually brothers. The first part of their pen name was created from the first three letters of their given names. The second part was probably inspired by the Brothers Grimm.〔http://mormarevibrothers.com/bio Mormarevi Foundation〕 They specialized in humorous films for children, but also wrote humor for adults. Their screenplays became classic films, fondly remembered to this day by Bulgarians, young and old. Their filmed screenplays also featured some of the most eminent Bulgarian comic actors of this period, including Dimitar Panov in ''Porcupines Are Born Without Spines'' (1971) and Georgi Partsalev in ''With Children at the Seaside (1972)'' and ''Farsighted for Two Diopters'' (1976). They created a unique style and enduringly popular body of work during one of the most productive eras in Bulgarian cinematography. ==Biography== Moritz Yomtov was born on 5 November 1921 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He graduated from the American College of Sofia and afterwards studied chemistry. His friends described him as a man of brilliant erudition and a person of encyclopedic knowledge. He had a professorship in biochemistry but also had a great interest in jokes and the humorous stories. Yomtov held high posts in the Federation of European Biochemical Societies for years, finally reaching the position of secretary-general.〔P. Kovachev, ''50 Golden Bulgarian Films'', Zahariy Stoyanov 2008〕 Aside from his native Bulgarian, he spoke English, French, German and Russian. Moritz Yomtov died in 1992 in Israel at the age of 71. Marko Stoychev was born on 12 September 1931 in Varna, Bulgaria. When he was a child, his family moved to Sofia, where he spent his entire life. Stoychev graduated with a degree in English philology from Sofia University. In 1953, he went to work for Bulgarian National Radio, where he worked in the Foreign Broadcasts department. After several years working there, he met Yomtov.〔 They became inseparable friends for the rest of their lives. Marko Stoychev died in 2006 at the age of 75. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mormarevi Brothers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
