"Казвам се Саад Саад, което на арабски означава Надежда Надежда, а на английски Тъжен Тъжен."Саад иска да напусне Багдад и хаоса в него и да стигне до Европа, до свободата и бъдещето. Но как да прекоси границите без нито един динар в джоба? Как, като Одисей, да се опълчи срещу бурите, да оцелее в крушенията, да избяга от търговците на опиум, да пренебрегне песните на Сирените, превърнали се в рокаджийки, да се измъкне от жестокостта на един надзирател-циклоп или да изтръгне от любовната магия на една сицилианска Калипсо? ... |

Icon painting in Bulgaria is closely connected with the historical destiny of the Bulgarian people and with Christianity adopted in 865 as official state religion. That was the time of the emergence of a new pictorial system, interpreted and evolved on the basis of a rich ancient artistic heritage of the Graeco-Roman and Thracian cultures, but subordinated to the traditions and lifestyle of the proto-Bulgarian and Slavonic tribes, a fact which makes it so original. The ceramic icons made in the late 9th and early 10th century in Preslav, the capital of the First Bulgarian state and the surrounding monasteries reveal the ... |
