Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live. In the Victorian era, in the shadow of Darwin's ideas about evolution, a new full-blooded attempt to impose control over our unruly biology began to grow in the clubs, salons and offices of the powerful. It was enshrined in a political movement that bastardised science, and for sixty years enjoyed bipartisan and huge popular support. ... |

Без съмнение "Последното изкушение" е една от най-философските, но и противоречиви творби на писателя, в основата на която стои върховният дълг на борещия се човек - безспирната, безмилостната борба между духа и плътта. В тази книга критиците съзират Новото евангелие, апокрифната човешка изповед на Божия син. Джанет Маслин от в. "Ню Йорк Таймс" пише: "Радикален и напълно революционен, "Последното изкушение" преосмисля божественото през човешкия избор." Според Казандзакис загадката на Христос не е загадка само на една определена религия, а е общочовешка, защото "всеки човек е ... |

Трето издание. ... Защото не искаме и не можем да пуснем мъртвите си любими. В това лично изследване моята цел е да разгледаме по-детайлно лицето на вампира и цялостният му образ да бъде преосмислен. Вдъхновението ми за този труд се породи от мистичните български народни песни. Видях лицето на вампира не като зловещ коректив, създаден, за да се спазват стриктно погребалните ритуали, а като поетичен образ, олицетворяващ безсмъртната ни връзка към смъртните ни любими. Българският фолклор се оказа океан от сложни вярвания, в който искам да потопя българския читател и поне за миг той да се гмурне в мистичните извивки на ... |
