That's how it was back in time when there was only one Bulgarian National Radio in our fatherland. Those years Vlad was frantically followed by an audience of hundreds of thousands. His night shows were something anticipated and appreciated. This continued for years. In the dark hours of the night, when the ghostly creatures of human fears and fantasies usually came to life, Vlad led the audience through the devil's curves with his restless, vibrating ... |

"... ритмическая стихия стихов Фаины Гримберг трудно поддается измерению верификационными эталонами: она свободно переходит от верлибра к раешнику, от строго ритмизированной строки произвольно колеблющейся долгой просодии, она вбирает в себя и заимствованные и цитируемые строки и словосочетания. В стихах Фаины Гримберг глаз эрудита увидит и вольное вплетение строк Шекспира, Пушкина, средневековых французских классиков. Фаина Гримберг широко пользуется рефренными повторениями, подчас звучащими, как заклинания или как лейтмотив, и эмоциональными восклицаниями, вмещающими в себя невыговариваемую полноту лирического ... |

What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth' So wrote the Romantic poet John Keats (1795 - 1821) in 1817. This collection contains all of his poetry: the early work, which is often undervalued even today, the poems on which his reputation rests including the 'Odes' and the two versions of the uncompleted epic 'Hyperion', and work which only came to light after his death including his attempts at drama and comic verse. It all demonstrates the extent to which he tested his own dictum throughout his short creative life. That life spanned one of the most remarkable periods in English history in ... |
