"Far from the Danube" is the story of an extraordinary woman who rescued a heavily wounded knight from a battlefield in northern Bulgaria and managed to return him to a less than grateful family in Normandy, just as the Hundred Years War was about to start. Set against the national and religious conflicts of the early 15th century this is a powerful account of a hazardous journey into exile and of a love between Maria Iskra and Gilles Guiton that flew in the face of contemporary mores, given that as a knight of St John, Gilles had taken a vow of chastity. Based on a recorded meeting between English King Henry V ... |

From the mythical charm of the Song of the Nibelungs to the stunning scapes of fairy-tale castles, impressive bridges and thick forests, the Danube, Europe's second longest river, tickles the imagination of people from all over the world.

The book at hand, Living in Two Worlds - Bulgarian Czechs in the Village of Voyvodovo, explores the Czech Protestant community that once lived in the north-western region of Bulgaria in the first half of the XX century. The authors examine various aspects of this vibrant Czech community in Bulgaria, such as their religiosity, kinship, language, and architecture, thus providing valuable insight into the nature of this rather unique group. The book shows how the Czech village of Voyvodovo, founded in 1900 by migrants from the village of Svatá Helena (in what is today Romanian Banat), developed into a rather distinct ... |

The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. I hope the book will find a ... |

"It is well know to all how much daily problems the Bulgarian people has in these days. However, more dangerous than anything is the tendency to loose identity and national selfconfidence. 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 ... |
