Преди повече от три десетилетия с пет хиляди рубли, взети назаем, Алексиевич си купува ролков магнетофон и тръгва по градове и паланки из Съветския съюз. Записва своите / техните разкази - на жените фронтовачки, на децата на Великата Отечествена, на жертвите от Чернобил, на момчетата от Афганистан и сътворява нов литературен жанр - жанра на човешките гласове."Трудно е да спечелиш вниманието на днешната аудитория - преситена от факти и образи. Когато насилието, убийствата, грабежите, бомбите, гладът, самоубийствата са се превърнали в ежедневие, чувството за емпатия се оттегля от предните позиции, а съзнанието ... |

Картография на правото в България около 1900 г. ... "Младите нации усвояват опита на старите чрез обучение, като домашно. Те трябва да научат живота на по-старите нации наизуст, да го преразказват, да го играят и изживеят повторно, докато един ден стане техен собствен. Ако изобщо стане. Защото съдбата може да им изиграе лоша шега и да превърне именно повторението и подражанието в техен живот и в тяхно проклятие. Те могат да останат вечно да повтарят и вместо истински живот да живеят един живот "second hand"." Яни Киров ... |

След метафизично-ницшеанското „Проглеждане на гледката”, след декоративния a la Чавдар Мутафов мемоар „Далматинецътъ Марципанъ”, и най-сетне – след литературно-антиквитетната „Вещи и обнищвания в литературата”, вече държим в ръце четвъртата книга на писателя-dandy Любомир Милчев – „Комедиантите...”, декорирана с много загадъчни черно-бели фотографии от Николай Трейман. И тази книга прописва трудно отстоимото и строго осъждано в българската литература право на една мрачно-весела маниерност от необароково-щукатурен тип. Между фарса, водевила и живата картина тези текстове, пропити от усета за несъстоятелността на човешкото ... |

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. I hope the book will find a ... |

The book shows how the Czech village of Voyvodovo, founded in 1900 by migrants from the village of Svatá Helena (in what is today Romanian Banat), developed into a rather distinct ... |

Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse-unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more ... |

From the beginning of human history, individuals across cultures and belief systems have looked to the sky for meaning. The movement of celestial bodies and their relation to our human lives has been the central tenant of astrology for thousands of years. The practice has both inspired reverence and worship, and deepened our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. While modern-day horoscopes may be the most familiar form of astrological knowledge, their lineage reaches back to ancient Mesopotamia. As author Andrea Richards recounts in Astrology, the second volume in Taschen's Library of Esoterica ... |
