By Averroes, Ralph Lerner. 1974
"In one fashion or another, the question with which this introduction begins is a question for every serious reader of…
Plato's Republic: Of what use is this philosophy to me? Averroes clearly finds that the Republic speaks to his own time and to his own situation. . . . Perhaps the greatest use he makes of the Republic is to understand better the shari'a itself. . . . It is fair to say that in deciding to paraphrase the Republic, Averroes is asserting that his world--the world defined and governed by the Koran--can profit from Plato's instruction."--from Ralph Lerner's IntroductionAn indispensable primary source in medieval political philosophy is presented here in a fully annotated translation of the celebrated discussion of the Republic by the twelfth-century Andalusian Muslim philosopher, Abu'l-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rushd, also know by his his Latinized name, Averroes. This work played a major role in both the transmission and the adaptation of the Platonic tradition in the West. In a closely argued critical introduction, Ralph Lerner addresses several of the most important problems raised by the work.Сексът & кухнята
By Patrizia Caiffa, Кръстина Стоенчева. 2015
След театралния успех, Патриция Кайфа пренася читателите си в света на "Секса & кухнята". Три раказа, взети от радващите се…
наогромен интерес представления, които описват няколко напълно различни истории, три случки, видяни през двоен обектив: сексът и чревоугодничеството. Любовта към готвенето или търсена чрез него. Тема, която свързва героинята - мечтателка от "Булото и азбуката" в измъчената ѝ Сицилия, ексцентричните любовници от "Аз мога, наслаждавам се" и пристрастения към готвенето воин от "Черен като болката". Герои без воля в едно отношение - онова между еротиката и храната - което надхвърля понятията за време и място. Разказите са придружени от театралните постановки, от които се раждат, станали още по-ценни чрез прекрасните авторски снимки и илюстрации на Луиджи Пагано.Късче от рая
By Cristiano Parafioriti, Кръстина Стоенчева. 2015
Галати Мамертино е малко планинско селце, сгушено сред полите на планината Неброди, от чиито стени блика история: и това е…
само една малка част от тази история, която "Късче от рая" ни кара да съпреживеем. Посредством двадесеттте разказа, изпъстрени с действителнигерои, опияняващи аромати и антични вкусове авторът обрисува една фреска от своята младост, като влага разумна доза фантазия и реалност. Докато четем страниците, можем да усетим слабия глас на Юга, приглушен от вцепенението, породено от примирението и тъгата, но и задъхващ се от любовта по едно отминало време, към една бедна и окървавана земя, изнемощяла и ранена от бича на бедността, неправдата и емиграцията, но винаги жива в спомените на хората, които са я напуснали. Именно този спомен засяда в душата и сякаш иска да образува емоционален свръхбагаж, който кипи и се разлива под формата на думи, мисли и образи за едно време, за един ден или за един миг, които са били изживени и които все още успяват да предизвикат вълнение.Неподвижен Живот В Тази Воняща Клоака
By Vincent Fleur, Metodi Milanov. 2014
"Неподвижният живот" е едно пасивно състояние, от което не може да се излезе, огорчението от един неизживян живот. Точно това…
е душевното състояние, което авторът се опитва да ни предаде чрез тази своя прокълната творба. Средството са петнадесетте разказа, които я съставят.Vincent Fleur описва герои потопени в тази "воняща клоака" на тръпчиво-горчиво-сладникаво-кисело ежедневие, на безполезни напъни за изплуване и на живот живян наужким. Започва с един мним диалог между двама близнаци "в утробата" и от една автоматична машина за закуски, която се превръща в спасение от ежедневното, мизерно съществувание; продължава по пътя, който води до секси дами с много наточени зъби (Джаз и Анален коитус), транссексуалци, които се надсмиват на тъжни предприемачи (Милано Милейди) и до скучният и еднообразен провинциален живот на тези, които си мечтаят за големи и приказни градове (Сувенир от Париж), за да достигне накрая до "пеперудите в стомаха", много по-страшни от чудовищата, които се крият в мрака на нашето подсъзнание (Пеперуди).The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber [Bulgarian]
By Ernest Hemingway. 2007
[This edition is in Bulgarian.] Before he gained wide fame and accolades as a novelist, Ernest Hemingway established his literary…
reputation with his short stories. “The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” the titular story of this collection, was originally published in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1936 and is among Hemingway’s most celebrated work. Set in Africa on a big-game safari, it is a story of betrayal, courage, and the relationship between a husband and wife. Other stories in this collection include “The Capital of the World,” “A Way You’ll Never Be,” “A Day’s Wait,” and “Fathers and Sons.” All sixteen stories showcase the singular talent of a master, the most important American writer of the twentieth century.A Farewell to Arms
By Ernest Hemingway. 2008
[This edition is in Bulgarian.] The best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is…
the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Hemingway’s frank portrayal of the love between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley, caught in the inexorable sweep of war, glows with an intensity unrivaled in modern literature, while his description of the German attack on Caporetto—of lines of fired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized—is one of the greatest moments in literary history. A story of love and pain, of loyalty and desertion, A Farewell to Arms, written when he was thirty years old, represents a new romanticism for Hemingway.Една Седмица Италианска Кухня

His second major venture into nonfiction after Death in the Afternoon 1932 Green Hills of Africa…
is Ernest Hemingway s lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa where he and his wife Pauline journeyed in December of 1933 Hemingway s well-known interest in--and fascination with--big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip In examining the poetic grace of the chase and the ferocity of the kill Hemingway also looks inward seeking to explain the lure of the hunt and the primal undercurrent that comes alive on the plains of Africa Yet Green Hills of Africa is also an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and of the beauty of a wilderness that was even then being threatened by the incursions of man Hemingway s rich description of the beauty and strangeness of the land and his passion for the sport of hunting combine to give Green Hills of Africa the freshness and immediacy of a deeply felt personal experience that is the hallmark of the greatest travel writing This edition is in BulgarianThis volume offers a new English translation, introduction, and detailed commentary on Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov, (The Rectifying of the Curved), a…
14th-century Hebrew treatise on the foundation of geometry. The book is a mixture of two genres: philosophical discussion and formal, Euclidean-type geometrical writing. A central issue is the use of motion and superposition in geometry, which is analyzed in depth through dialog with earlier Arab mathematicians. The author, Alfonso, was identified by Gita Gluskina (the editor of the 1983 Russian edition) as Alfonso of Valladolid, the converted Jew Abner of Burgos. Alfonso lived in Castile, rather far from the leading cultural centers of his time, but nonetheless at the crossroad of three cultures. He was raised in the Jewish tradition and like many Sephardic Jewish intellectuals was versed in Greek-Arabic philosophy and science. He also had connections with some Christian nobles and towards the end of his life converted to Christianity. Driven by his ambition to solve the problem of the quadrature of the circle, as well as other open geometrical problems, Alfonso acquired surprisingly wide knowledge and became familiar with several episodes in Greek and Arabic geometry that historians usually consider not to have been known in the West in the fourteenth century. Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov reflects his wide and deep erudition in mathematics and philosophy, and provides new evidence on cultural transmission around the Mediterranean.Bayesian and High-Dimensional Global Optimization (SpringerBriefs in Optimization)
By Anatoly Zhigljavsky, Antanas Žilinskas. 2021
Accessible to a variety of readers, this book is of interest to specialists, graduate students and researchers in mathematics, optimization,…
computer science, operations research, management science, engineering and other applied areas interested in solving optimization problems. Basic principles, potential and boundaries of applicability of stochastic global optimization techniques are examined in this book. A variety of issues that face specialists in global optimization are explored, such as multidimensional spaces which are frequently ignored by researchers. The importance of precise interpretation of the mathematical results in assessments of optimization methods is demonstrated through examples of convergence in probability of random search. Methodological issues concerning construction and applicability of stochastic global optimization methods are discussed, including the one-step optimal average improvement method based on a statistical model of the objective function. A significant portion of this book is devoted to an analysis of high-dimensional global optimization problems and the so-called ‘curse of dimensionality’. An examination of the three different classes of high-dimensional optimization problems, the geometry of high-dimensional balls and cubes, very slow convergence of global random search algorithms in large-dimensional problems , and poor uniformity of the uniformly distributed sequences of points are included in this book.Pesticides in Soils: Occurrence, Fate, Control and Remediation (The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry #113)

By Shai Heijmans. 2020
This volume presents a collection of articles centring on the language of the Mishnah and the Talmud – the most…
important Jewish texts (after the Bible), which were compiled in Palestine and Babylonia in the latter centuries of Late Antiquity. Despite the fact that Rabbinic Hebrew has been the subject of growing academic interest across the past century, very little scholarship has been written on it in English. Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew addresses this lacuna, with eight lucid but technically rigorous articles written in English by a range of experienced scholars, focusing on various aspects of Rabbinic Hebrew: its phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and lexicon. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Rabbinic studies alike, and constitutes the first in a new series, Studies in Semitic Languages and Cultures, in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.George Herbert Mead on Social Psychology (Heritage of Sociology Series)
By George Herbert Mead. 1964
One of the most brilliantly original of American pragmatists, George Herbert Mead published surprisingly few major papers and not a…
single book during his lifetime. Yet his influence on American sociology and social psychology since World War II has been exceedingly strong. This volume is a revised and enlarged edition of the book formerly published under the title The Social Psychology of George Herbert Mead. It contains selections from Mead's posthumous books: Mind, Self, and Society; Movements of Thought in the Nineteenth Century; The Philosophy of the Act; and The Philosophy of the Present, together with an incisive, newly revised, introductory essay by Anselm Strauss on the importance of Mead for contemporary social psychology.
