Цель, которую я преследую в настоящей книге, - сопоставить информацию, дошедшую до нас от старых писателей, и сделать некоторые выводы относительно людей, которые распространили болгарское государство на Балканы, не прибегая к помощи многочисленных современных книг, которые я читал и которые заполняют мою библиотеку. Это я делаю не из неуважения к огромному труду современных болгарских литераторов и историков, а из желания сделать независимую оценку событий и самостоятельные выводы о взаимосвязи и последовательности событий и их последствий, читая только старых авторов. Надеюсь, книга найдет место в библиотеке ... |

During his five year voyage of discovery on board HMS Beagle and more than two decades subsequently devoted to research, he painstakingly collected a mass of evidence from across the planet - from Paraguay and the Galápagos Islands to Staffordshire and Scotland - building a compelling case for the theory of natural selection, ... |
