The life of a small boy living in a London suburb which sustained heavy damage from enemy bombing where over a hundred of its citizens were killed and only ten percent of its buildings survived the war unscathed. He recalls the terror of lying in a cupboard under the stairs as the Luftwaffe bombed his suburb and later devastation caused by V1 flying bombs and long range V2 rockets. His account encompasses a short period of evacuation to the safety of a country village and the relief experienced by a war torn populace when news of Hitler's death heralded the end of the Third Reich and the Second World War. The reminiscences also include details of his family's friendship with German prisoners of war. The main thread which weaves the narrative together lays in the many humorous episodes which punctuated his early years, particularly whilst in the British Army which at the time appeared to have changed only marginally since the carnage of the First World War.
Μία νύχτα, μία πόλη, μία αγάπη, μία σχέση που τελείωσε, ένα ταξί, ένας νεαρός, πολλές περιπέτειες, πολλές μελωδίες και μουσικές, πολλές σκέψεις, πολλές αναμνήσεις, ένα όργιο.... Η ιστορία ενός νεαρού ταξιτζή σε μία νύχτα παραμονή Χριστουγέννων. Μία συναισθηματική διήγηση γεγονότων κι ένα ταξίδι σε έναν κόσμο μακρινό και χιονισμένο γεμάτος μουσική, πάθος, λύπη, χαρά, σκέψεις και αβεβαιότητα.
Transcribed from a hand-typed manuscript, this is a poignant eye-witness account of the Battle of North Cape, as witnessed by a young signal-boy aboard the British warship HMS Belfast. This crucial battle to protect the vital convoys from Britain to Russia, was fought out in the Arctic seas north of Norway's North Cape, in the midst of winter, in some of the worst weather conditions anywhere in the world. It resulted in a crushing defeat for Nazi Germany when their battleship the Scharnhorst came under fire from several British and Norwegian ships and was sunk with the loss of 1,932 men. There were many heroes that day, and the events herein were experienced by a young lad named Harry C. Hall. This is his account, written in verse and incredibly moving to the very end.
Анотация "Да обичаш с Душата..." е не просто поредната книга със стихове, а е продължение на историята, която заразказвах в своята първа стихосбирка "Душата избира...". Стиховете следват своята хронология, а лирическите герои преминават през различни състояния на отчаяние, мъка, болка, надежди, копнежи, мечти, безрезервна обич и огнена страст. Едно пътуване в рими на две влюбени, дълго търсили се Души, които са се намерили в безкрая на времето... Тук ще спра да разказвам и ще оставя на Вас да се потопите в техния свят, и да преживеете заедно с тях всеки един стих и всеки един техен копнеж. Защото историята продължава и има още много за разказване... Желая Ви приятни и незабравими мигове с моите стихове! Елка Бърдарова

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), best known for his great novels, 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', had very strong convictions that he addressed directly in these letters and papers. Not quite definable but referred to with such adjectives as 'count', 'Russian', 'novelist', 'vegetarian', 'anarchist', 'Christian', 'pacifist', 'teacher', 'husband', and 'father', Tolstoy invites intrigue. Fortunately, he wrote expansively, so we can, 100 years later, hear his voice once again.

Funny, really enjoyable, surrealistic and sometimes strange stories, based on absurd things of our life, are collected in the book. They are about Russian immigrant in the USA, about fantastic meeting of a designer with Salvador Dali in the Crimean health resort, about some speleologists, who were blocked in the cave, 'nigerian letters' and the magic role of numbers in our life... Modern Russian writer Alexander Granovsky can keep readers' attention.
Fyodor Dostoevsky's Demons (1871-1872) is a novel that depicts a real event in Russian history, the "Nachaev affair" of 1869, in which an individual, Sergei Nachaev, a Nihilist revolutionary who was sponsored by another famous revolutionary, philosopher, and anarchist: Mikhail Bakunin-who has been called the father of anarchist theory, was involved, if not totally responsible for the murder of a student who was intent on revealing some of the activities of Nachaev. Nachaev represents a new form of revolutionary spirit which Dostoevsky imparts to his character Pyotr Steponovich Verkovensky in which what was only a product of intellectual ideation becomes a wild and uncontrollable force unto itself. Dostoesvky translates this anarchist drama into a powerful myth that serves as a testament and warning of the dangers of revolutionary methods and ideas. An important message for today's heavily polarized world.

This is the story of Karoly, a man whose family protected Jewish refugees trying to escape the advance of Nazi Germany, from the west, and the advancing of the Russian, Red Army, and their Romanian allies, to the east. Karoly was forced to be a human-shield by the Romanian army liberators. When, after the war, Hungary was under Communist control, he was sent to prison. Karoly was committed, as a political prisoner, for being a member of the Independent Small-holders Party, the communist party's only serious political rival. Under the communist regime anyone who held authority in the community was a threat and Karoly was arrested under a trumped up charge. He was imprisoned in Márianosztra where he was given the option of starvation or working as a miner in a forced-labour-camp. Karoly worked in a coalmine until he escaped the cruel communist regime in 1956. This is the story of a man who cheated death and suffered terrible privations before escaping to England to start again from nothing.
