Книга за дописване."Може би няма област от човешкото познание, която да не присъства тук. Авторът години наред е работил по тази книга, издирвайки, проучвайки и обработвайки всеки отделен пасаж. Странните случки (понякога граничещи с фантастиката) и твърде сериозните научни факти той поднася с много фино чувство за хумор. Такава дарба имат малко творци. Погледнато аналитично това многообразие на темите, този коктейл от видове наука, освен че гарантира занимателност, оказва и успокояващо въздействие върху читателя. Като историк ми направи приятно впечатление, че Тошо Лижев, без да е специалист в тази област, ... |

"Христо Йотов бе ваятелят, приеман по света като посланик от Балкана на повалените от бурите дървета с български сърцевина и корен. В труда си на скулптор и майстор пластик, той свещенодействаше, като че служеше молитва в памет на загиналите мури, дъбове и орехи. Пишеше ли книги (за да си почива), в истинните разкази за своите предци, той бе Етимологът - източник, с когото можеха да се съветват науката Народопис и родното човекознание. Ваятел и писател, Христо Йотов бе самотният работник с две призвания - в една съдба. Съдбата на народа гений." Борис Христов Големият майстор дърворезбар Христо Йотов (1940 - ... |

"Забравеният Хипократ" е книга, която възкресява неизвестни герои с бели престилки, казва авторът ѝ. В книгата си д-р Тотко Найденов разказва отново за лекари, но те са неизвестни, анонимници, не са блестяли на екрана, за тях не са писали по вестниците и въпреки това са оставили дълбока следа в сърцата на хората, а и в историята на тази славна професия. В мнозина ще видим истински герои, въпреки че не са живели с подобно самочувствие. Напротив, бродейки ден и нощ по калните улици, давайки кръв, докато оперират, пренебрегвайки собственото си здраве заради живота на другите, те са следвали своята велика ... |

"Прославяме Фьодор Ушаков като местно почитан светец, но значението, на това събитие излиза далеч извън рамките на местното тържество на Саранската епархия. Днешният ден е специален за цялата ни Църква, той ще остане завинаги в църковната история и в историята на нашето Отечество. Познаваме немалко воини, чиято святост е призната от Църквата и чиито имена се почитат горещо от благочестивия вярващ народ. Такива например са светите благоверни княз Александър Невски, Дмитрий Донски. Но за първи път от дълго време Църквата прославя в лика на праведните воини подвижник, живял в сравнително недалечното минало. И за първи ... |
