John Gribbin leads us into the ever more bizarre and fascinating world of the smallest particles we have discovered, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the ... |

"Когато преди време написах Етюди за един пръст и през ум не ми минаваше, че един ден наново ще седна да пиша книга. Е, както казват: "Никога не казвай никога". Нещата си следваха определена логика и явно едно нещо влачи след себе си друго: първо книга, след това групата Осите. След това идеята да посвирим стари рок парчета, която пък доведе до писане на собствената музика в този стил. Покрай работата с Осите преслушах тонове със стари рок парчета и така ми хрумна идеята за настоящата книга - истории, вдъхновени от любими, леко позабравени, но оставили трайни следи в душите на моето поколение песни. Хем ... |

Spielberg is the medium's defining artist the embodiment of the Hollywood ideal: the commercial potential of film married to its creative possibilities. He's widely popular, but he's also a stylist, and far darker than he is given credit for. Often, it is this very darkness that speaks to us. But, it's also his incredible knack for telling stories with lightness that speaks to millions, by mixing the extraordinary with the ordinary. His leading characters, even Indiana Jones, are marked by their vulnerability, their mistakes, their yearning. It's the human touch. There are so many parts to Spielberg&# ... |
