This book was initially planned as a record of a series of lectures to my first classes of Bulgarian Philology, English Philology and Applied Linguistics, and Public Relations undergraduate and graduate students at the South West University of Bulgaria where, back in the early 1990s, we were to lay the foundations of an academic tradition in a fast changing world. It was meant as a record of the fast restructuring of our minds and attitudes in time of economic and sociopolitical transition and cultural transcendence, seen from a changing Bulgarian perspective where the world came upon our horizon English-speaking.

Traditions and their Transformations in the British Cinema of the 90s, of the 20th Century ... Writing this book was a strange journey over bridges across different cultures. The title is a metaphor of the hybrid, intellectual and anti-spectacular british feature cinema from the end of the 20 th century with affinity to egalitarianism, minimalism of the "short form", archetypal imagery and hedonism. It is a triumph of the expansive yough's counter-culture with it's intrinsic intolerance of authority, power and cliches. The transformation of tradition in the context of instability of the national- ... |

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... "On the Origin of Species" outlines Charles Darwin's world-changing theory that life on Earth had not been brought into being by a creator, but had arisen from a single common ancestor and had evolved over time through the process of natural selection. Received with both enthusiasm and hostility on its publication, it triggered a seismic shift in our understanding of humanity's place in the natural world. It is not only a brilliant work of science but also a clear, vivid, sometimes moving piece of popular writing that reflects both Darwin&# ... |

Самоизмами и преждевременни претенции по пътя към просветлението ... Духовното развитие често се оприличава на изкачване на планина. Пътища много - целта е една, но какъвто и път да сме избрали (християнство, будизъм, суфизъм, даоизъм, йога и пр.), винаги изниква въпросът: "Как да разберем докъде сме стигнали?" Дали изобщо вървим в правилната посока? Дали като си мислим, че сме станали много духовни и извисени, всъщност не сме попаднали в плен на "духовния материализъм" и егото ни не се е надуло още повече? На тези и още много други въпроси отговаря Мариана Каплан в много искрената си, честно написана ... |

Един призрак броди из развитите страни: куиър джендъризмът. След като през последните десетилетия станахме свидетели на големи социални завоевания, свързани с уважението към правата на хората, които не съответстват на традиционните полови роли, в наше време се появи нов трансактивизъм. Той руши социалните достижения, възстановява ретроградни концепции и практики и създава проблеми там, където преди е нямало такива. Този активизъм не почива върху медицинската, психиатричната или психологическата наука. Не съществува и здрава философска основа, която да оправдае възгледа, че е възможно човек да се роди в грешно тяло. ... |

Part 1: Fro the Beginings to 1700 Part 2: 1700-1832 ... В настоящата книга се проследява развоят на английската литература от времето на първите литературни паметници (VII в.) докъм 1830 г., когато завършва периодът на романтизма.
