Нобелова награда за литература 2018. ... От носителката на Нобеловата награда за литература Олга Токарчук - един покъртителен разказ, изследващ размитите граници между здравия разум и лудостта, между желанието да въздадеш лична справедливост и вкоренения навик да спазваш обществените конвенции. Когато в отдалечено планинско село е намерен труп на мъж, заобиколен от дивечови следи, сякаш няма съмнение, че човек е станал жертва на животинско изстъпление... Прецизно омесен от различни съставки - трилър, криминална мистерия, хроника на унищожаването на природата от човека, философски трактат за естеството на битието и ... |

Entonces, si no puede viajar a España o a Hispanoamérica para ponerse al día, termina por acomplejarse y quedarse callado en un rincón, perdiendo la posibilidad ... |

Illustrated by Shane McGowan. ... The store has been here for only one year, but many people think that it has always been here. Above the door are faded brown letters which say: spice bazaar. "I, too, look as if I have always been here. When customers enter, they see an old bent woman with skin the color of sand. The foods in my store remind them of India – the land most of them left behind when they came to America. They don't know the truth about me, of course. They don't know that I'm not really old – that this body is not really mine. I am Tilo, the Mistress of Spices. I can see into the hearts and ... |

It is getting dark over the mountain lake; the passing winter freezes the quiet northern land.

В романа M-р Гуин в един момент се споменава за малка книга, написана от англо-индиец, Акаш Нараян, и озаглавена Три пъти на разсъмване. Става дума, разбира се, за въображаема книга, но във въображаемите случки тя е и далечно продължение на M-р Гуин отчасти заради удоволствието, споделено от автора, да последвам една определена идея, която имах в главата си. Може да бъде прочетена от всекиго, дори от онези, които никога не са взимали в ръка M-р Гуин, защото става дума за самостоятелна и завършена история. Това не пречи все пак и първата ѝ част да бъде спазено онова, което M-р Гуин обещава - допълнителен поглед върху ... |

There is less than one hundred Thracian stone-built under-tumular constructions in Bulgaria that are usually called tombs. Most of them were found half-demolished or were demolished subsequently.
