Топъл и сладък като парченце пай, този съвременен преразказ на кинокласиката Римска ваканция ще ви накара да се смеете, да плачете и да копнеете... Когато изпадне в затруднение, Амилия, известна на феновете си повече като поп иконата Рей Роуз, се обръща към своя идол - актрисата Одри Хепбърн. Прегоряла от напрежението на сцената, очакванията на почитателите и изискванията на продуцентите си, Амилия за пореден път си пуска класиката Римска ваканция... и пали колата към най-близкия Рим, който може да намери - малко, забутано градче в щата Кентъки. Само един уикенд - толкова може да си позволи между предстоящото турне, ... |

След бестселъра SPQR, в който Мери Биърд разказва историята на Древен Рим, Императорът на Рим се фокусира върху владетелите, управлявали Римската империя: от предвестника на едноличната власт Юлий Цезар (убит през 44 г. пр. Хр.) до момчето император Александър Север (убит през 235 г.). За разлика от традиционния подход, който проследява хронологично живота и управлението на императорите, робувайки на клишета като побъркания Калигула, чудовището Нерон, философа Марк Аврелий..., Мери Биърд акцентира върху характера на властта и нейния публичен образ. Каква власт са имали императорите в действителност? Наистина ли в ... |

Third supplemented edition. ... 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. ... |

Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 - 1610), was always a name to be reckoned with. Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: Violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run. This work offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio's entire oeuvre with a catalogue raisonné of his works. Each painting is reproduced in large format, with recent, high production photography allowing for dramatic close-ups with Caravaggio's ingenious details of looks and gestures. Five introductory chapters ... |

Filling notebook after notebook with sketches, inventions, and theories, Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519) not only stands as one of the most exceptional draftsmen of art history, but also as a mastermind and innovator who anticipated some of the greatest discoveries of human progress, sometimes centuries before their material realization. From the smallest arteries in the human heart to the far-flung constellations of the universe, Leonardo saw nature and science as being unequivocally connected. His points of inquiry and invention spanned philosophy, anatomy, geology, and mathematics, from the laws of optics, ... |

Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite winning critical acclaim. Some even said her audacious, futuristic designs were unbuildable. During the latter years of her life, Hadid's daring visions became a reality, bringing a unique new architectural language to cities and structures as varied as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, hailed by The New York Times as the most important new building in America since the Cold War; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; and the London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre. At the time of her ... |

These essays bring together ideas and modes of expression from Vico, Hegel, Cassirer, and James Joyce. This work approaches philosophy as a form of literature and approaches literature as containing insights and images that supply a basis for philosophical thought. Philosophy and literature are both products of the rational imagination. The rational imagination provides a guide to the conception of the good society. By looking back at Plato's Laws, it is possible to conceive society as based on friendship rather than ideology. Considering the interrelationships among philosophy, society, and literature offers a ... |
