През 2008 г. група съмишленици от "Фондация за нова култура" направихме нова камбана и камбанария на село Горна Бела Речка. Мотивите ни не бяха религиозни. Водеха ни усещането, че на старите хора от селото наистина им липсва откраднатата камбана с "най-благия звук", предизвикателството - може ли отново да се направи "блага" камбана, удивлението - колко силен отпечатък в паметта оставят звуците, с които израстваме. Тази книга събира уроците и разказите, родени в процеса на правене на камбаната. Решихме да споделим този процес с повече читатели, защото да направиш камбана се оказа преживяване, ... |

Second, expanded & updated edition. ... This book is for everyone with an interest in Jewish history in Bulgaria and the Balkans, and in the general history of southeastern Europe.

Yet, it is a lot more than that. Its pristine beaches at the Black Sea coast, its nature reserves, its rivers and its forests provide the intrepid traveller with countless opportunities to explore: from the perplexing ruins of Begliktash to the ... |

Това съдбоносно събитие променило културата, пейзажа и населението на Балканите.
