"In Genesis, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen." Sebastiao Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastiao Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward - though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer - the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who "always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images," shot very little color in his early ... |

Моето обучение при един суфи учител. ... Автентичността на преживяванията, безпощадността на самонаблюдението и смелостта, с която ги описва Ирина Туиди в книгата си "Огнената бездна", превръщат дневника ѝ в едно от най-значимите произведения на духовната литература. С него тя не само ни позволява да надникнем в тайния свят на суфите, да получим представа за суфизма като начин на живот, но и ни предоставя знание, което с всеки следващ прочит се разкрива във все по-голяма пълнота. Ирина Туиди (1907-1999), родена в Русия, получава образованието си във Виена и Париж, а след Втората световна война се ... |

И тези думи красноречиво говорят за общочовешките измерения на романа, действието на който се развива в два етапа от живота на героите. Първият, през 90-те години на миналия век, проследява разказа за летуването на остров Корфу на пенсиониран капитан от бившата югославска армия и съпругата му. Островът и преживяното разпадане на страната им ги връщат в ... |
