Минибиографиите, които придават човешки качества на легенди като Хемингуей и Пикасо , Агата Кристи и Уди Алън , и хвърлят светлина върху работния живот на популярни гении ни казват пределно ясно: Няма "единствен начин" да се създаде добра творба - всички велики личности имат свой собствен начин. И някои от тези начини са поразително странни. Франц Кафка , разочарован от условията, в които живее, и от дневната си работа, пише в писмо до Феличе Бауер през 1912 г.: "Времето е малко, силите ми са ограничени, в службата се чувствам ужасно, апартаментът е шумен и ако не е възможно животът на човек да бъде ... |

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.

Второ издание. ... Историята на Аристотеловия текст е твърде занимателна и много прилича на повест за изгубената / скрита и след векове открита библиотека от тайни книги, разкриващи всичко важно. Част от тази изгубена и намерена библиотека е Метафизиката. Тя се състои от 14 книги, като отдавна е забелязано, че те образуват по-скоро сборник, отколкото единно произведение, създадено по предварителен план. Преводът е направен по редактирания от Хю Треденик текст на Имануел Бекер (Берлин, 1831; Оксфорд, 1837) от Николай Гочев . ... |
