Among the country's greatest artistic contributions, twentieth-century Russian literature was revolutionary on its approach to realism, injecting characters with human weaknesses familiar to all. It also provided fodder for other such important concepts as existentialism and even passive resistance, which was rooted in the works of Tolstoy and practiced successfully by Gandhi and Martin Luther King. The twelve powerful short stories in this collection are excellent examples of writing by the foremost authors from Russia's Golden Age of Literature. Ideal for students of Russian literature, this magnificent ... |

"Химера" е роман от три свободно свързани части - "Дунязадиад", "Персеида" и "Белерофонтиада", подобно на митичната Химера, съставена от три животни (обикновено комбинация от лъв, коза и змия). Те разказват познатите истории на митичните герои Шахразад, Персей и Белерофонт, но най-вече за невъзможността за сантиментални, еротични и сериозни отношения между мъже и жени в брак или любовна връзка, когато мъжът е самоосъзнат като герой - духовно изкривен автор, химера, обсебена от хаоса в различните си части, докато съпругата му край него остарява. Книгата е постмодернистична - с ... |

A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children. He gave us the now standard versions of some traditional fairy tales - with an anarchic twist - but many of his most famous tales sprang directly from his imagination. The stories here range from exuberant early works such as "The Tinderbox" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" through poignant masterpieces such as "The Little Mermaid", "The Little Match Girl" and "The Ugly Duckling", to more subversive later ... |

The idea of this book is to emphasize - on the example of analysing select emblematic pieces of Victorian and post-Victorian poetry - that the Past matters as it informs the mind about its present state and about actuality in the general sense of the word. My theoretical premises have been modern European ontophilosophy, existential ethics and hermeneutics. A scholar's academic past - flawed as it may be - contains the scholar's own personal experiental past (and thus a morsel of a general communal past. and vice versa. It is the author's humble hope therefor that some of the ideas and issues raised in this ... |
