About 4000 years ago the lands of modern Bulgaria were inhabited by people who built fortifications and cities, buried their dead in monumental tombs, drank wine from gold and silver cups, and warred, traded and did politics with the ancient Greeks and Romans, with the Persians, the Scythians and the ancient Macedonians.

"Номад е събирателният поетичен образ на моите духовни търсения през периода след публикуването на първата ми стихосбирка. От години вече се самоопределям чрез пътуването, което се е превърнало в маркер на моето номадско съществуване. Езикът за мен е сакралност, пътека, по която се движа и скрепявам частите си, за да стана отново цяла. В поезията търся не толкова вдъхновението, колкото диалога, възможността да открия себе си или другия. Тя е постоянен разговор-преоткриване - универсален парадокс, който ни помага да превърнем в думи това, което иначе не бихме могли да изкажем." Людмила Калоянова Людмила ... |

The book is a multilingual edition. ... A lifelong devotee of ancient Egyptian and Oriental culture, the French author, artist, and scholar Achille-Constant-Théodore-Émile Prisse d'Avennes (1807 - 1879) is famed as one of the most influential Egyptologists, long before the discipline was even properly established. Prisse first embarked on his explorations in 1836, documenting sites throughout the Nile Valley, often under his Egyptian pseudonym, Edris Effendi. Prisse's first publication of notes, drawings, and squeezes (a kind of frottage) came in the form of Les Monuments égyptiens, a modest ... |

Proceedings in the International Conference 24 - 27 October 2018 in the Town of Galabovo."The archeological site Asara or Galabovo, as it is known in the literature, is a prehistoric settlement mound - one of the largest in the Upper Thrace.

Only the old name Asara (meaning fortress) and separate archeological materials without a certain ... |

"The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" takes us on a journey of many years-the story spooling outwards from the cramped neighbourhoods of Old Delhi into the burgeoning new metropolis and beyond, to the Valley of Kashmir and the forests of Central India, where war is peace and peace is war, and where, from time to time, 'normalcy' is declared. Anjum, who used to be Aftab, unrolls a threadbare carpet in a city graveyard that she calls home. A baby appears quite suddenly on a pavement, a little after midnight, in a crib of litter. The enigmatic S. Tilottama is as much of a presence as she is an absence in the ... |

Изданието е триезично - на английски, немски и френски език. 40th Anniversary Edition. ... "The works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude are monuments of transience. Gigantic in scale, they are always temporary, created to exist only for a limited time and to leave unique, unrepeatable impressions. From the smallest of the Packages made in Paris in the early 1960s, to the delicate pattern of hundreds of branches embraced by a translucent fabric veil... in Christo and Jeanne-Claude's works there is nothing abstract, nothing imagined; it is all there - corporeal and tangible."

"Изследването анализира с размах различни и изненадващи репонятизации на миметичното, като демонстрира, че модерният мимесис - чрез своята опосредстваност и саморефлексия - винаги създава оста тък. Тъкмо това исторично и теоретично наблюдение свързва миметичното с модерността и авангарда. В крайното си удвояване саморефлексията в литературата е мимесис в мимесиса. Вероятно затова книгата се чете с удоволствие, което умножава удоволствие то от нейното създаване". Васил Видински "Чрез връщане към началата на филологията "Модерният мимесис" постига очертаването на една нова перспектива за ... |
