In traditional societies, the individual exists only as far as taking its place in a group, a place that is often destined from birth in a social hierarchy.

Това е книга за Витята - написаха я неговите приятели и почитатели, след като "сърдитото младо момче" отплава към страната на отвъдните сънища, където няма смут и мъка. Виктор Пасков остави блестящи белетристични образци. Започна с ярката си и провокативна първа книга с новели "Невръстни убийства", посрещната възторжено от един от първожриците на съвременната проза Павел Вежинов. В нея авторът се приближаваше по почти мистичен начин към големите преди него - Емилиян Станев, Йордан Радичков, Дончо Цончев. Сетне Виктор прекрачи в прекрасния романтичен свят на "Балада за Георг Хених". ... |

"Vlad can always take you by surprise; often amazing us with his wide spectrum of not just artistic manifestations - resembling the many faced Janus. That's how it was back in time when there was only one Bulgarian National Radio in our fatherland. Those years Vlad was frantically followed by an audience of hundreds of thousands. His night shows were something anticipated and appreciated. This continued for years. In the dark hours of the night, when the ghostly creatures of human fears and fantasies usually came to life, Vlad led the audience through the devil's curves with his restless, vibrating ... |

"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 ... |

"Гледката през прозореца към живота на едно малайзийско градче, Лубок Сайонг, който романът открехва, първо ни озадачава, после ни разсмива, след което ни разнежва, натъжава, ядосва и накрая умилява. Цялото наше безумство обаче не търси да изненада или да впечатли с екзотика - това, което за непознатия читател звучи екзотично, за действащите лица е повседневност. Историята ни изненадва и впечатлява с друго - с това колко просто наглед е разказана, със своята увлекателност, непринуденост и емоционална топлота. Всичко е замесила Ши-Ли Коу в повествованието - и четири сестри, и легенди за древни времена, и елементи от ... |
