Тази книга предлага нов и приносен прочит и на читалищната институция, и на нейните способности за опазване на фолклора (културата) чрез свързаните с общностите възможности за преобразуване на смисли, и на взаимното съучастие на двете: институция и култура. ... |

"През лятото на 2023 г. бяхме поканени на среща с членовете на Настоятелството на НЧ Алеко Константинов 1884. На тази среща те ни представиха тяхната идея да бъде написана книга, която да разказва историята на читалището, театъра и библиотечното дело в града. Причината за написването на книгата е навършването на 140 години от създаването на първото читалище в Провадия. Донякъде изследователската ни работа беше улеснена от събраните през годините материали от автори като Светослав Аджемлерски, Марин Гочев, Стефан Корабов, Ивайло Георгиев. Трудностите, които преодоляхме, за да стигнем дотук, бяха много и от различен ... |

Marianne, emotional and sentimental, the epitome of sensibility, loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts her. A powerful drama of family life and growing up, the novel is at once a subtle comedy of manners and a striking critique of early nineteenth-century society. Gorgeously illustrated by the ... |

Translation by Angela Rodel. ... The world is a book, which someone is constantly recopying and rewriting. The world is a mirror, out of which peer ancient images. There are exercises in style. There are also exercises in meaning. "Love Stories from the Babylonian Library" is an exercise in both.

D. Salinger и Robert M. Pirsing. Valery Stefanov is a professor of literary history at Sofia ... |

George Orwell wrote extensively about English life and politics and this selection of essays and journalism brings together some of his most provocative and insightful writing on England and Englishness. Orwell's interests were broad. He often wrote about everyday concerns such as transport, food and the weather. Turning to social issues, he exposed the plight of the poor and the unemployed. He dissected the idea of nationalism and he examined the failings of the Left. What emerges from his acute observation of English rituals, habits and attitudes is his belief that these are the very things with which the English ... |
