Второ преработено и допълнено издание на фундаменталния труд на американския египтолог Джеймс Х. Брестед. ... Вече два века загадките около историята и културата на Древен Египет занимават любопитството и въображението на изследователи, учени и обикновени хора, представители на нашата, т. нар "Западна цивилизация". "Постоянно нарастващият брой на онези, които посещават долината на Нил всяка поредна зима, дори сам по себе си е фактор, който изглежда ще повлияе върху съвременния интерес към историята на Египет. Но освен тези наистина щастливи пътешественици, има още един кръг от хора, които започват да си ... |

"Една от целите на тази книга беше да съберем в една книга това изгубено културно наследство, защото букварът със своите илюстрации и съдържание е културно наследство." Свобода Цекова Тази книга събира по уникален начин най-интересните български буквари от 1824 до 2014 г.

Въпреки типовата структура и устойчивите визуални образи всеки буквар е пъстро огледало на времето, в което е ... |

Anguished art: The tortured talents of a post-Impressionist master. Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853 - 1890) are among the most well-known and celebrated in the world. In Sunflowers, The Starry Night, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, and many, many paintings and drawings beyond, we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the portrayal of mood and place through paint, pencil, charcoal, or chalk. Yet as he was deploying the lurid colors, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms that would subsequently make his name and inspire generations of expressionist artists, van Gogh battled not only the disinterest of ... |

To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story. For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane. Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. ... |

It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art. As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their ... |
