And the Europeanisation of Bulgaria. Presented in selected areas of state administration and society (1861 - 1887 - 1912). The book is a thorough narrative of the modernization of Bulgaria from 1887 to 1912. One period of 25 years of Bulgaria's peaceful existence, apart from the social turmoil. In these years Bulgaria went from being an Ottoman Asian province to a European state. This was, of course, the consequence of a great popular, especially elitist, push towards Europe, led by the Bulgarian ruler - Prince, later Tsar, Ferdinand I. His participation in this great upsurge is the subject of this book. It is the ... |

He bowed to her and said a few words which she could not hear. All the time, he looked at her with the same expression - one of complete love. She was overcome by a feeling of great joy.

А може би и някои, които не обичате. Как да подходите към големите проблеми в живота и как да станете по-щастлив и по-мъдър човек."Тази книга е едно обобщение на многото отговори на въпросите, с които хората са се обръщали към мен през годините, на работата ми като терапевт и автор на рубрика за съвети, на беседи и събития, както и на ежедневното общуване.

But there is risk in all this play - that's what makes it so fun, and so dangerous. Sometimes, the world may feel like it's ending, but for Vivian and Celia, life is just beginning. City of Girls is about daring to break conventions and follow your desires: a celebration of glamour, resilience, growing up, and the joys of female friendship - and about the freedom that comes from finding a place you truly belong."Addictive...

"Is it possible a good novel to be written in Bulgaria in a team - and even in a triple co-authorship? What's more - that the very act of writing is more of a game, a shared creative energy and intelligent thought for the whole, rather than an internal struggle for supremacy of the authors' individual voices? The book you hold in your hands is just that. This debut novel has everything that can provoke and hold the reader's curiosity: an intriguing story, vivid conflicts, tension that grows with precise dynamics, love stories in two parallel storylines: in modern times and in ancient Egypt; drama, wise ... |

The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. I hope the book will find a ... |
