 John Scalzi - Old man's war |
|
|
|
|
 | I've always been fond of the military science fiction. It's not only the piquant of speech, nor the dynamics or the tension adding up to its specific charm, but the way it's always original. And then again, it's not that the classic war novels can't feed us something unique - though they really can't. Neither that Earth would need some very ...

Donald Westlake: What's So Funny? |
|
|
|
|
 | I haven't read a crime story for such a long time that I've forgotten the feeling of doing so. No kidding. Due to my current good luck with books I'd come across this novel, which reminded me of a crime story in its prime. Almost by exception, the annotation of the book is also pretty cool. Indeed, "What's So Funny?" is a rather funny ...

 | We are all mortal and we all will die some day. It’s inevitable despite the fact that we want to delay this moment.

 | By definition the pixel, besides being a sci-fi novel by the famous Bulgarian humorist Vesel Tsankov is the smallest particle of a digital image. For the nowadays society the pixel is the analogue of the smallest screw in the machine from the times of the industrial revolution. A silent unit without rights, which existence is possible solely into ...

Bernard Werber in Bulgaria: The writer on himself |
|
|
|
|
 | Last year, June 1st, besides being the International Children's Day, turned out to be the day when we met Bernard Werber. The Matty hall proved too small to gather all of us who have come to see the famous French writer, but me and Simba demonstrated our foresight by taking seats half an hour before the beginning, so we weren’t among the standees. ...

 | Je congnoys que pauvres et riches,
Sages et folz, prebstres et laiz,
Noble et vilain, larges et chiches,
Petitz et grans, et beaulx et laidz,
Dames à rebrassez colletz,
De quelconque condicion,
Portant attours et bourreletz,
Mort saisit sans exception.*
I doubt if there exists a thinking creature who hasn’t questioned itself ...

Domingo Santos: "Futuro Imperfecto"
|
|
|
|
|
 | I'm sick to death of the grey desert
Spreading as far as the eye can see,
The wind that carries dusty eddies,
Oil puddles, piles of shavings.
Er Malak, "2010" (a Bulgarian song from the 1990s)
What is technological progress? Do we stride forward, or do we rather follow the principle "one step forward, two steps back"? Doesn't ...
