The unfading popularity of Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918) attests not only to the particular appeal of his luxuriant painting but also to the universal themes with which he worked: love, feminine beauty, aging, and death. The son of a goldsmith, Klimt created surfaces of ornate and jewel-like luminosity which show influence of both Egyptian and Japanese art. Through paintings, murals, and friezes, his work is defined by radiant color, fluid lines, floral elements, and mosaic-like patterning. With a number of subjects dealing with sensuality and desire as well as anxiety and despair, all this iridescence is also suffused ... |

Смъртта дойде да ни посети през лятото на 39 -а . Изкусна, методична, непризнаваща моди и пристрастия; безразлична към Пасхи, Коледи, празници и традиции; дойде студена и безчувствена - бирник, събиращ просрочените дългове. Смъртта посещава много пъти малката провинциална общност на Огъста Фолс, където живее дванадесетгодишният Джоузеф Воон. В деня, когато намира перо - тънко и бяло като от крило на ангел - той загубва баща си, а скоро след това брутален убиец отнема живота на момиче, в което тайно е влюбен. Това е първото от серията убийства, които гнетят градчето през следващите години. За да защитят общността, Джоузеф ... |

Illustrated by Mike Lacey and Martin Sanders. ... "The sword moved again, and the light from the sun flashed on the bright metal. Soon, all that Bathsheba could see was a bright light flashing around her. Troy had never practised better than this. "Your hair is a little untidy, Miss Everdene," he said. "I'll make it tidy for you." The sword went past her ear with a whispering sound. A small piece of her hair fell to the ground. She watched him pick up the lock of hair and put it in his pocket. "I'll keep this forever," he said. He came closer to her. "I must leave you now.& ... |

Mirror, mirror on the wall... Who's the deadliest of them all? Once upon a time, a girl named Sophie rode into the forest with the queen's huntsman. Her lips were the colour of ripe cherries, her skin as soft as new-fallen snow, her hair as dark as midnight. When they stopped to rest, the huntsman pulled out his knife... and took Sophie's heart. It shouldn't have come as a surprise. Sophie had heard the rumors. They said she was too kind and foolish to rule - a disaster of a future queen. And Sophie believed them. She believed everything she'd heard about herself, the poisonous words people use to ... |

"There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion." Thus Bram Stoker , one of ... |

Райнер Цителман проучва десетте най-разпространени обвинения срещу капитализма - води до глад и бедност, до задълбочаващо се неравенство, до излишно потребителство, до разрушаване на околната среда, до климатични промени, до войни... Капитализмът, твърдят неговите критици, поставя печалбите над човечеството, създава доминиращи монополи, подкопава демокрацията. Цителман разглежда подробно всяко от тези обвинения и разкрива значимите грешки в него. Предлага контратези, като ги обосновава с изобилни исторически свидетелства и неопровержими факти, доказващи, че не капитализмът се е провалил: провалили са се ... |
