Безброй анекдоти и шеги. ... Хумор от Англия, Шотландия, Ирландия и Уелс. В този сборник си дават среща изтънченият и понякога циничен хумор на англичаните, закачливият, дяволит и жизнерадостен хумор на шотландците, пиперливият и прям хумор на ирландците и накрая неподправеният и добродушен хумор на уелсците. И макар всеки от четирите народа да си има своите чудатости и често те да се надсмиват едни на други, хуморът от Британските острови не може да бъде сгрешен с никой друг и остава запазена марка за много усмивки и добро настроение. ... |

The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. I hope the book will find a ... |

Съставител: Цочо В. Билярски . Книгата е част от поредицата "Библиотека Сите българи заедно" № 31а. ... "Всякога Русия, когато е имала бой с Турция, лъгала е бедните простодушни българи, че уж за тях отваря такъв бой и че уж тях иде да освободи! Но нейната цел всякога е била да им разори милото отечество и да ги преселва малко по-малко в земите си. Нейната злобна политика се познава твърде добре и от това, щото тя ни в един си договор с Турция нищо добро не е споменала за българи, ако и да е имала най-добри удобности за това. Тя всякога е само своята политика гледала, а собствено за завладетелните си ... |

Сега всички хора живеят с по един от тези три възгледа и не могат да се спогодят. С главата си човек служи на третия възглед, с гърдите си на първия възглед, а със ... |
