The geographic boundaries of the Mohammedan Bulgarians are outlined and the migratory and emigration processes of this ... |

Conceived originally as a tool for familiarizing Western intellectuals with the rich history and culture of Bulgaria and its people, the book presents as well - albeit briefly - the other Balkan nationalities and their interrelations. The case is made for the injustice wrought upon the country by the Great Powers, such that within the last 130 years or so since its liberation from the Ottoman yoke it has been splintered into multiple pieces, each donated to a different neighbour. Specifically, the call is justified for unification between Bulgaria and it's southwestern part that is known under the name of Republic of ... |

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 - 1610) was always a name to be reckoned with. Notorious bad boy of the Italian Baroque, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial, violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run. Though famed for his dramatic use of color, light, and shadow, it was above all Caravaggio's boundary-breaking naturalism which scorched his name into the annals of art history. From the dirtied soles of feet to the sexualized languor of bare flesh, the artist allowed even sacred and biblical scenes to unfold with a startling, often visceral humanity. This ... |

Предопределението не създава представа за капризен и зъл Бог, а рисува портрета на един любящ Бог, Който осигурява изкуплението на напълно покварени хора. В Божиите действия има загадка, но не и противоречие. Авторът изследва темата в Писанието стъпка по стъпка и оборва противниците. Ние избираме Бога, защото Той ни е отворил очите, за да видим Неговата красота. Обичаме Го, защото Той пръв ни е възлюбил. "Ако Бог е истински Бог, Той владее над ... |

This is a clearly visible tendency in the inscriptions of foreign languages, mass emigration and the wish for imitation of foreign culture. At other side, the answer to the question, "Why are you ashamed to call youself Bulgarian?" is more than obvious: there is in the present time to be proud of. The above-described situation makes preservation and popularization of Bulgarian History extraordinarily important. If it ... |
