Откакто свят светува човекът все се стреми към забавяне или отлагане на процеса на стареенето и удължаване на човешкия живот, но на базата на здрав и запазил жизнеността и работоспособността си организъм. Ето защо възниква въпросът може ли човек в близкото бъдеще да се противопостави успешно на химическите изменения на обкръжаващата го среда, както и съществуват ли достатъчно ефективни методи за лечение на неизбежните химически отравяния на планетата? Ако по някакви причини не успеем да съхраним средата си на обитаване, пригодна за живота на съвременния човек, единственият начин за оцеляване на Homo sapiens е ... |

A key figure in the international avant-garde, Piet Mondrian (1872 - 1944) was at once an extraordinary painter and leading art theoretician whose influence resonates to this day. Coining the term "Neo-plasticism", he pursued a style of painting composed only of primary colors against a grid of black vertical and horizontal lines and a white base background. Mondrian's vision was that this essential painting would help to achieve a society in which art as such has no place, but rather exists for the total realization of "beauty". With stints in Amsterdam, Paris, London, and New York, Mondrian drew ... |

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880 - 1938) is regarded as one of the key figures in 20th-century European art. A Modernist to his bones, he sent seismic waves through the art world with his hard-edged, intensely colored paintings and disseminated his ideas through Die Brücke art movement and the MUIM-Institut school of modernist painting, both of which he cofounded. Kirchner's work reconciled past and present through an Expressionist prism, reflecting the latest avant-garde ideas in art, while exploring traditional academic approaches and subjects. His works tackled social, moral, and emotional questions with a fierce ... |

"По-лесно е да напишеш стихотворение, отколкото разказ, а да не говорим за роман. И това е така, заради чисто техническия детайл със свободното време, търпението и волята за работа часове наред. Същевременно, стихотворението е по-въздействащо, да кажем, от есе (или поне така смята авторът). Стихотворението може да застане почти както си иска, може да бъде свободно, сковано или бледозелено. Ето защо тази книга е пълна със стихотворения, които можеха да бъдат разкази, лекции, речи и статии. Много от тях всъщност са упражнения на мисълта, възникнали от случайни реплики в приятелски разговори." Владислав Христов ... |
