Conceived originally as a tool for familiarizing Western intellectuals with the rich history and culture of Bulgaria and its people, the book presents as well - albeit briefly - the other Balkan nationalities and their interrelations. The case is made for the injustice wrought upon the country by the Great Powers, such that within the last 130 years or so since its liberation from the Ottoman yoke it has been splintered into multiple pieces, each donated to a different neighbour. Specifically, the call is justified for unification between Bulgaria and it's southwestern part that is known under the name of Republic of ... |

"В новата поетична книга на Йорданка Белева е вписана особена чувствителност към времето, отминалото, пропуснатото в момента. В стихосбирката заслепява аурата на цивилизационната забързаност. Бързащият човек е белязан от неизречено слово, ранен от безвъзвратно загубено общуване с любим човек. Да запълни бялото квадратче на изпуснатия момент е страшно изкушение за Йорданка Белева. Тук тя ще види траурна лентичка, криволичеща етимология, крайчец на фанатизъм, призрак след зачертана идеология. Неусетно аорист е подменен от бъдеще време в миналото, за да се отвори място в езика, където да не се чувстваме чужденци." ... |

A new approach is suggested providing opportunities to prognosticate the rate of deactivation according to the reaction mechanism and the current conversion degree. Various deactivation types are distinguished, and the corresponding kinetic descriptions are specified. On this basis, it is proposed to extend the trivial classification for deactivation ... |

За дома на литературата. ... Другата Итака е посветена на югославското литературно пространство и голяма част от есетата в нея са върху поетиката на авторите, които Людмила Миндова представя на българския читател и като преводач - Данило Киш, Йосип Ости, Алеш Дебеляк, Томаж Шаламун, Дубравка Угрешич... Защо есета? Есето е тъкмо жанрът, който напомня, че в сърцевината на литературното познание е да бъде опит... В един ироничен вариант подзаглавието на Другата Итака би могло да бъде не за дома, а за дима на литературата. Историята носи толкова дим от изгорени книги, автори и читатели, че за такава ирония има твърде ... |

Icon painting in Bulgaria is closely connected with the historical destiny of the Bulgarian people and with Christianity adopted in 865 as official state religion. That was the time of the emergence of a new pictorial system, interpreted and evolved on the basis of a rich ancient artistic heritage of the Graeco-Roman and Thracian cultures, but subordinated to the traditions and lifestyle of the proto-Bulgarian and Slavonic tribes, a fact which makes it so original. The ceramic icons made in the late 9th and early 10th century in Preslav, the capital of the First Bulgarian state and the surrounding monasteries reveal the ... |
