"In Genesis, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen." Sebastiao Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastiao Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward - though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer - the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who "always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images," shot very little color in his early ... |

Кръстът на Христос е центърът на християнската вяра. В тази книга Джон Стот подчертава, че Кръстът стои в центъра на историята и на библейската вяра."След три уводни глави, които оформят част първа, в част втора стигам до онова, което наричам сърцето на кръста. Тук дискутирам истинското библейско разбиране на понятията изкупление и заместничество. В развитието на темата за Кръста на Христос съм подходил от три опорни точки: Писанието, традицията и съвременния свят. Моето силно желание беше да бъда верен на Божието слово, като му позволя да каже това, което то казва, а не да го помоля да каже онова, което аз бих искал ... |

В тези разкази Антон Баев е постигнал най-трудното - четивност и дълбочина, ненатрапчива разказност и философска многопластовост. И още нещо, изключително важно - разказите вълнуват, а без емоционалното си въздействие, пренебрегвано напоследък, изкуството се обезсмисля."В разказите на Антон Баев има отблясъци от Шехерезадиното изкуство на живота като разказ. Игрива фриволност и трагична патетика, драматични напрежения и комични разреждания, пречистваща усмихнатост или мрачен сарказъм се вплитат в любовните романи на героите, за да ни представят чрез тържеството на любовта или трагедиите на любовта несекващите ... |
