Възникване, развитие, разпадане и разлагане на цивилизациите."Поставил Човека във всичките световни сътресения, съзидания и катастрофи, Тойнби твърди, че от него произтичат всичките нещастия и триумфи в историческия живот на света. Но как ли да приемем перспективната съвместимост между общочовешката цивилизация и неутешителното наблюдение, че природата на Човека не се е променила значително в позитивна насока в последните няколко хилядолетия? Този въпрос е една от малкото неразгадани тайни и пространства за въображение в наследството на Арнълд Тойнби, принадлежащо на света!" Проф. Андрей Пантев Комплектът на ... |

Сюжетите и героите на по-голямата част от белетристичните и драматургическите творби на Кирил Топалов отразяват живота на столичани, поради което той е определян от литературната критика като един от най-добрите софийски градски писатели. Тази традиция продължава и в Софийски истории. Тя се вглежда в драмите на три поколения софиянци - от дядовците (македонски и тракийски бежанци с техните идеали, с трудното им и нерадостно битие в драмата на четири войни, три от които една след друга), през синовете (в драматичното време след политическата промяна през 1944 г.), до внуците и правнуците в периода на следващата ... |

In endless odes to the female form, Amedeo Modigliani (1884 - 1920) traced elongated bodies, almond eyes, and his own name into art history. His languid female subjects are as instantly recognizable as they are startling, sensual, and swan-necked. Modigliani's unique figuration corresponded to his own personal idea of beauty, but drew upon a rich variety of visual influences, including contemporary Cubism, African carvings, Cambodian sculptures, and 13th-century painting from his native Italy. Although most renowned for his nude females, he applied similar stylistic techniques to portraits of male artistic ... |

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 ... |

At the age of six, Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) wanted to be a cook. At the age of seven, he wanted to be Napoleon. "Since then", he later said, "my ambition has steadily grown, and my megalomania with it. Now I want only to be Salvador Dali, I have no greater wish". Throughout his life, Dali was out to become Dali: that is, one of the most significant artists and eccentrics of the 20th century. This weighty volume is the most complete study of Dali's painted works ever published. After years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Neret located painted works by the master that had been ... |
