Third supplemented edition. ... The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. ... |

How Ancient Rhetoric, Taylor Swift and your own soul can help you change your life. Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun-from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing.

An utterly scandalous but entirely truthful look at history under the influence. Did you know that Alexander the Great was a sloppy drunk, William Shakespeare was a stoner, and George Washington drank a spoonful of opium every night to staunch the pain from his fake teeth? Or how about the fact that emperor Qin Shi Huangdi ingested liquid mercury in an (ironic) attempt to live forever, or that Alexander Shulgin, inventor of no less than 230 new psychedelic drugs, was an employee of the DEA? In Human History on Drugs, historian Sam Kelly introduces us to the history we weren't taught in school, offering up irreverent ... |

"It is well know to all how much daily problems the Bulgarian people has in these days. However, more dangerous than anything is the tendency to loose identity and national selfconfidence. This is a clearly visible tendency in the inscriptions of foreign languages, mass emigration and the wish for imitation of foreign culture. At other side, the answer to the question, "Why are you ashamed to call youself Bulgarian?" is more than obvious: there is in the present time to be proud of. The above-described situation makes preservation and popularization of Bulgarian History extraordinarily important. If it ... |

През последните години един млад български бас триумфално шества в най-големите оперни театри в света. Сравняват го със Самуел Рейми и други големи оперни гласове, но винаги изтъкват и славянската "нотка" в гласа му. Орлин АНАСТАСОВ е само на 28 години, но списъкът с ролите му е впечатляващ: Рамфис от "Аида", Филип ІІ от "Дон Карлос", Базилио от "Севилският бръснар", Ферандо от "Трубадур", басовите партии от "Сомнамбула" и "Норма", "Бохеми", "Риголето", "Пуритани", "Ернани", "Макбет", "Атила", "Симоне Боканегра", "Фауст" и т.н. - все тежки оперни роли, които са по силите на малцина в света.
