Един уникален документ за концлагера на остров Персин! Така може да бъде определен разказа на бившия лагерист Стефан Бочев за най-големия политически лагер край Белене по времето на комунистическия режим. Белене: Сказание за концлагерна България е дълбоко и стойностно народопсихологическо изследване на българския дух от средата на XX век. Творбата на Стефан Бочев е нещо много повече от продължение на Бит и душевност на Иван Хаджийски за българите, 100 години по-късно. Подобна книга не може да бъде преразказана. Тя трябва да бъде прочетена. Изданието е внушително със своите над 1000 страници, но нито една няма да ... |

"Когато варварският азиатец потопи българската държава в кръвта на народа ѝ и го превърна в безправен роб, без право на човешки живот, на имот, на чест, когато народът ни се мяташе насам-натам в 105 въстания, правейки неуспешни опити да се освободи, родината ни позна много знайни и незнайни герои, но един от тях изгоря с такава мощ и блясък, че както тогава, така и днес никое свободолюбиво сърце не може да го забрави! Ние честваме Христо Ботйов по най-различни начини и с времето символът се превръща в ритуал, ритуал на светец, който запазва форма, но почва да бледнее със съдържанието си, дотолкова, че днес ... |

В летописа на българската авиация историята на всяко летище е интересна и колоритна. Авторът е събрал случки, на които е бил не само свидетел, но и в които е участвал, разкази, които е чул и иска да сподели с читателя. От делниците на авиацията в годините, когато самолетите са били доста повече от 5 - 6, са изведени събития и герои, за които полковник Гилин разказва с голяма симпатия и обич. Не може да служиш на летище и да не уважаваш от сърце и душа тези забележителни личности. Служебните задължения на летците са преплетени с всекидневен риск, затова в книгата става дума за хора, сладкодумни в раздумката и ... |
