This is a book about TRUTH - and all the ingenious ways, throughout history, that we've managed to avoid it. We live in a 'post-truth' age, we're told. The US has a president who openly lies on a daily basis (or who doesn't even know what's true, and doesn't care). The internet has turned our everyday lives into a misinformation battleground. People don't trust experts any more. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? As the editor of the UK's leading independent fact-checker, Tom Phillips deals with complete bollocks every day. Here, he tells the story of how we ... |

Една шокираща човешка трагедия, разкрита в история за страдание и триумф. Разказ за бягството из цяла Танзания. Тринадесетгодишният Хабо винаги е бил различен - светли очи, жълта коса и бяла кожа.

Баща му, неспособен да го приеме, изоставя семейството, а майка му едва го поглежда. Братята му и другите деца никога не го викат да играе с тях. Единствено сестра му Асу го обича.

They remain among the most-loved, and most-quoted, of all drama in the English language. Along with Salome, his darkly decadent dramatization of the Bible story, these immortal plays continue to pack theatres, and have been adapted for every kind of ... |
