A tribute to the first great age of fictional sleuthing, this delightful collection of 13 mystery classics is devoted to the genuine tale of ratiocination, "in which the detective solves the crime by investigation and observation, by using his or her wits".

Разказите в "Мистерията живот" са въз основа на преживяванията ми с Клод. Писал съм ги, когато бяхме заедно и сега като ги препрочитам, в съзнанието ми изплуват ярки спомени, а сърцето ми болезнено се свива от носталгия по щастливите дни… Водех приятно и безметежно съществуване; отделях по четири часа за работа, седем дни седмично. Доставяше ми удоволствие и сега осъзнавам какъв късметлия съм бил, че всеки път, когато ми потрябваше нов сюжет, успявах да го намеря. Ежедневният четиричасов режим на работа, нито минута повече, ми осигуряваше доста време да се заигравам и с други неща. Заиграването ми много скоро ... |

Математиката, Кабалата и търсенето на безкрайността ... Между V и VI век пр. Хр. гърците стигат до идеята за безкрайността. Цялата концепция за нея е толкова поразителна и фантастична, че смущава философите и математиците, които я откриват, причинявайки болка, лудост и поне едно убийство. Кабалистите - еврейските мистици, стъпват здраво на концепцията за безкрайността, почти както гръцките философи и математици преди тях. Те са били наясно, че безкрайността съществува както като безкрайна колекция от несвързани обекти, така и като континуум. Но математическото разбиране и развиване на различните видове безкрайност е ... |

"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 ... |

In the book, the basic results, related to the theoretical aspect of the GMM, are collected. Some of the GMM applications are described in a simpler form as illustrations. In future, a part of hem will be extended to real models. For example, a series of models have been already prepared, for forest fires, taking into consideration the strength and direction of wind, characteristics of terrain, speed of wood burning and speed of fire spread, as well as other factors. In these models, the grids are 3-dimensional spaces. These models provoked some new ideas for extension of the theoretical research and possibilities for new ... |

Complete and unabridged with an afterword by Jonty Claypole. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly unsolvable mysteries. "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Fall of the House of Usher" are key works in the horror canon, while in the "The Murders ... |

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 ... |
