Избрана проза. ... През последните десетилетия Габриел Миро се превръща в един от най-почитаните испански писатели. Творбите му трудно могат да се сравнят с произведенията на които и да било други европейски романисти. Неговата фигура става съвършеният пример за усамотен, потопил се в литературата творец. Увлечен от музиката и рисуването на младини, той избира изкуството на словото и тънката чувствителност му помага още в ранните си прозаични опити да изгради неповторим стил и завършена индивидуална поетика. Словото му трепти неподправено и чисто, а всяка изваяна фраза се оказва в дълбоко съзвучие с обновения от ... |

"Фар Шабла е най-старият, най-високият, най-колоритният български фар. Той е най-източната българска географска точка. Тук новата година астрономически идва първа в у нас. За фара са писали мнозина историци, журналисти, краеведи, географи, утвърдени имена и начинаещи. Той е вдъхновявал (и ще продължи да вдъхновява!) много поети и художници. Не съм критик - литературен или художествен, но ще отделя място за нашите - местните: Георги Давидов, Стефан Жечев, Александър Александров и Коста Костов. Каквото и да се напише за фар Шабла, все ще е малко, но това не означава, че не бива да опитваме да добавяме към тази история ... |

Set against the national and religious conflicts of the early 15th century this is a powerful account of a hazardous journey into exile and of a love between Maria Iskra and Gilles Guiton that flew in the face of contemporary mores, given that as a knight of St John, Gilles had taken a vow of chastity. Based on a recorded meeting between English King Henry V ... |
