"Даровит майстор на приказки. Като прочетох сборника с приказки на писателя Павел Павлов, имах дълго време чувството, че съм си проветрявал душата и съм я поочистил от горещата пепел, с която животът постоянно се опитва да я засипва. Защо се почувствах така: Облекчен и подмладен? Защото животът е понякога суров и мрачен и те засипва с киселините на съмнението, дали Правдата най-сетне ще победи Кривдата, а угнетените и озлочестените ще въздъхнат с облекчение. Хубавата приказка укрепва вярата в победата на Правдата и затова тя се появява в същия оня миг, в който човек се е разприказвал. Забележете: Всички измислени от ... |

Личният живот на известните хора винаги е бил предмет на особен интерес на историците. Като че ли именно в тази сфера на познанието историческите изследвания се приближават най-много до вкусовете на широката публика - заради пикантните подробности, заради екстравагантността и безсрамието на онези, които в същото време създават историята. Често историческата истина е толкова любопитна, че прилича на филмов сериал и фактът, че всъщност става дума за действително случили се събития, е особено завладяващ. Защото в крайна сметка филмовите сюжети твърде често са заимствани от действителността. Последният Римски император ... |

Carry On meets Arthurian legend in this funny, subversive young adult fantasy about what happens after the chosen one wins the kingdom and has to get married to keep it... and to stay alive. Arek hadn't thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler.
