"Far from the Danube" is the story of an extraordinary woman who rescued a heavily wounded knight from a battlefield in northern Bulgaria and managed to return him to a less than grateful family in Normandy, just as the Hundred Years War was about to start. Set against the national and religious conflicts of the early 15th century this is a powerful account of a hazardous journey into exile and of a love between Maria Iskra and Gilles Guiton that flew in the face of contemporary mores, given that as a knight of St John, Gilles had taken a vow of chastity. Based on a recorded meeting between English King Henry V ... |

"Историите в тази книга са като димящо черно кафе. Топли. Ароматни. Държащи нащрек сетивата ви. Написани с майсторство и жесток усет към детайла. Истории, които с една подвеждаща лекота заплитат в себе си ироничното, трагичното и в известен смисъл, мистичното. Градски разкази, с някакви вътрешни устои, абсолютно нетипични за психодрамата на градското съществуване. Селски разкази, иронично подкопани в самата си основа от фината, по градски модерна и детайлизирана чувствителност, най-вече на героините. Игра на светлини и сенки. На невъзможни любови и още по-невъзможни примирения. Истории с вкус към асиметричността на ... |

В самия заник на своя дълъг живот полковникът от резерва Христо Лазаров разбира стойностната страна на нещата. А така също порочността, престъпността и бездушието на политическата класа, която ни ... |
