Well-informed and richly illustrated, this book is the third volume of the popular Hidden Treasures of Bulgaria series. It takes the reader to lesser or completely unknown places in Bulgaria that fully live up to the promise of being "hidden treasures". Often located off (or off-off) the beaten track, they are integral part of what makes today's Bulgaria such a fascinating travel destination. Many of the forts, urbex sites, waterfalls and traditional villages are not to be found in any guidebook, and neither are some of the events and festivals described and photographed in detail here. This book provides ... |

Когато отчуждената майка на Стела умира, тя оставя на дъщеря си необичайно наследство: еднопосочен самолетен билет с бележка Замини за Париж.

Traditions and their Transformations in the British Cinema of the 90s, of the 20th Century ... Writing this book was a strange journey over bridges across different cultures. The title is a metaphor of the hybrid, intellectual and anti-spectacular british feature cinema from the end of the 20 th century with affinity to egalitarianism, minimalism of the "short form", archetypal imagery and hedonism. It is a triumph of the expansive yough's counter-culture with it's intrinsic intolerance of authority, power and cliches. The transformation of tradition in the context of instability of the national- ... |

Пол и модернизъм подлага модернистичното движение на критическа преоценка в търсене на отговор на въпроса доколко бунтът на самоназовалите се модернисти се ангажира с актуалните за времето полови норми, както и каква е ролята на радикалните реформатори в областта. Като се фокусира главно върху връзките между северноамериканските и европейските модернисти, Мария Букур демонстрира защо анализът на половите аспекти на модернизма е ключов за осмислянето на неговото наследство. Авторката се спира върху най-важните изследвания на движението и проследява как дефинициите за модернизма са еволюирали заедно с посветената му наука. ... |
