The present text differs from the latter not merely in form - both due to the year - long maturation of the initial ideas, as well as to the different target audience. The research aims at elucidating the position and interrelation of interpretation and literalness, as well as the factors underlining their interaction in the process of translation. What ultimately ensues is a new perspective on questions regarding the essence and boundaries of translation. ... |

Лекции на Шри Шри Рави Шанкар. ... Аюрведа е учението за живота. Веда означава знание. Веда - да знаеш. Аюр е живот. Когато се появи една болест, тя се появява първо под формата на мисъл, най-финия аспект и под формата на звук. След това се проявява под формата на светлина, тоест в аурата и чак тогава болестта се проявява в тялото. Появяват се леки симптоми в непостоянна форма, които могат да бъдат отстранени и след това болестта се проявява в най-осезаема форма, когато вече има нужда от лекарства. Вата доша преобладава в долната част на тялото - стомаха и червата. Болести като гастрит и болки в ставите, са причинени от ... |

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 - ... |
