Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic license of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular 'room of one's own', prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theaters, A Room of One's Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an ... |

The Thought Police, doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother - "1984" itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were newly created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute. In this novel, continuously popular since its first publication, readers can explore the dark and extraordinary world he brought so fully to life. The principal characters who lead us through that world are ordinary human beings like ourselves: ... |

"В разказите - както и в романите си, Николай Табаков не изневерява на себе си: описва чешити, описва чудесии, описва самобитности. Описва живота така, че да го превърне в литература, а литературата я кара да описва така, че да се превърне самата тя в живот. А той, авторът, Николай Табаков, обича с неподправен хъс и с преданост и единия, и другата, и тази негова обич избива върху писателското му перо с цялата си свежест, с всичкия му талант. И се предава на нас, читателите, които четем чешитските му разкази, чешитски и самобитни, и се радваме на чудесиите в тях, с цялото си сърце се радваме и - радвайки се, сами ... |

Йовков беше един от малцина български синове, които се опълчват с дело и слово срещу духовното разтление на народа, и неговият огромен талант му помогна да стане един от най-първите обновители. Цялото творчество на Йовков е едно преклонение пред родното, пред родната страна, родния пейзаж, родните хора, родното минало... "Аз не мога да си представя съвършено художествено произведение, което не отзвучава в душата на човека като музика. Дори мисля, че всяко такова произведение се ражда из музика." Изданието включва: предговор от академик Петър Динеков; биографична справка за автора и неговото творчество; ... |

Книгата обхваща темите от Стария завет, от Сътворението на света до Страшния съд и Апокалипсиса. Мистерията на българските стенописи, публикувана от издателство Инле е книга, разказваща (именно разказваща!, а не информираща!) живота на идеи, въплътени в образи. Разказ, здраво стъпил на солидни теологически, исторически, културологични и изкуствоведски знания. За много хора днес, както за живелия през 6 век св. Григорий Двуеслов, стенописите са библия за неграмотни. Авторките не са съгласни с това определение и увлекателно развиват своите доводи, че изображенията разкриват развиващ се свят, който е в непрекъсната връзка ... |
