Ето защо, когато храбрите български полкове се сражаваха при Ниш, Криволак, Прилеп и Дойран, те не забравяха нито за миг Златната житница, заграбена чрез дипломатически изневери и една военна разходка. Добруджанци трябваше да знаят, че и те са неразривна част от целокупната национална болка. Те самите бяха гинали при Одрин, Чаталджа и Калиманци, за да донесат свободата на сънародниците от другите български области, но се завърнаха в погазените родни огнища. Това обяснява как въпреки ... |

His subjects centered on the teeming, noisy streets of Paris, as well as its leisure entertainments, such as horse racing, cabarets, and, most particularly, ... |
