The unnamed narrator of the novel, a former government official, has decided to retire from the world and lead a life of inactivity and contemplation. His fiercely bitter, cynical and witty monologue ranges from general observations and philosophical musings to memorable scenes from his own life, including his obsessive plans to exact revenge on an officer who has shown him disrespect and a dramatic encounter with a prostitute. Seen by many as the first existentialist novel and showcasing the best of Dostoevsky's dry humour, Notes from Underground was a pivotal moment in the development of modern literature and has ... |

Dostoevsky, who wrote that in the character of Prince Myshkin he hoped to portray a wholly virtuous man, shows the workings of ... |

In Search of the Recipe for Our Universe. We probably all have a vague idea of how to make an apple pie: mix flour and butter, throw in some apples and you're probably most of the way there, right? Think again. Making an apple pie from scratch requires ingredients that definitely aren't available in the supermarket, ovens that can reach temperatures of trillions of degrees, and a preparation time of 13.8 billion years. Inspired by Sagan's famous line, Harry Cliff ventures out in search of the ultimate apple pie recipe, tracing the ingredients of our universe through the hearts of dying stars and back in time ... |

Албум. ... Иконите, създавани през XVI век в градовете по Българското Черноморие, са белязани с висок професионализъм, характерен за миналите векове. Появяват се и някои нови насоки в иконописта. Строгите иконографски-канонични изисквания и традиционност, характерни за изобразителното изкуство от това време, отстъпват пред влиянието на социалните промени в българското общество. Традиционността често се нарушава, появяват се нови сюжети, изображенията в житийните икони често граничат със светските жанрове. Постепенно се променя и естетическото съзнание на българските майстори. Изгражда се възрожденска художествена система, ... |

Fyodor Dostoevsky's later novels, The Adolescent occupies a very special place: published three years after The Devils and five years before his final masterpiece, The Karamazov Brothers, the novel charts the story of nineteen-year-old Arkady - the illegitimate son of the landowner Versilov and the maid Sofia Andreyevna - as he struggles to find his place in society and become a Rothschild against the background of 1870s Russia, a nation still tethered to its old systems and values but shaken up by the new ideological currents of socialism and nihilism. Both a Bildungsroman and a novel of ideas, dealing with themes ... |

First published in 1861, Humiliated and Insulted plunges the reader into a world of moral degradation, childhood trauma, unrequited love and irreconcilable relationships. At the centre of the story are a young struggling author, an orphaned teenager and a depraved aristocrat, who not only foreshadows the great figures of evil in Dostoevsky's later fiction, but is a powerful and original presence in his own right. This new translation catches the verve and tumult of the original, which - in concept and execution - affords a refreshingly unfamiliar glimpse of the author. You can also find the edition in Bulgarian - ... |

Човечеството не може да съществува нито ден без обич. "Изкуството да обичаш" на Ерих Фром е класическо произведение, което надниква в тайните на човешката душа. Прочутият психолог разглежда различните видове емоция: братската обич, майчината обич, еротичната обич, обичта към себе си, обичта към Бога и други. На достъпен език той показва защо изкуството на обичането е процес, а не въпрос на късмет - и какво трябва да направим на практика, за да обичаме и да бъдем обичани истински. "Схващането, че няма нищо по-лесно от това да обичаш, продължава да господства въпреки многобройните доказателства за обратното. ... |
