Book excerpt: Dimitar Mishev publishes this work in Bulgarian in 1916. The first English translation appears three years later. The author touches upon and defines the most relevant and important cultural events in Bulgarian history. The latter are pursued in parallel with events in the countries neighboring Bulgaria. Mishev lays the foundation of the mix of events from which Bulgarian identity and national interests are based upon. His spirit of defending the Bulgarian interests, of Bulgarian law, of the Bulgarian honor manifests itself in its element after the catastrophes in the two wars which led to Bulgarian people's unification. Bulgaria is not only outraged and cruelly slashed, it is ruthless and slandered by its enemies. Fenced on all sides during the Balkan Wars, it is sheltered with defenseless allegations of monster crimes. Since it is not possible to act against these accusations here, Mishev finds himself in neutral Switzerland and there, from Lausanne and Geneva, he lends himself with the defense of the Bulgarian honor. As a frontrunner in the struggle against our blaspheurs and slanders, Mishev follows all slandered bulwarks, writes letters, telegrams to prominent European statesmen and political figures; With the abundant information he has on hand, makes public exposures to liars and defamers.Dimitar Mishev Dimitrov, nicknamed Brankov, is a Bulgarian writer, publicist and politician, long-time secretary of the Bulgarian Exarchate, and an active member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.The author was born in Vidin, Bulgaria in 1854. His primary education was received in Vidin, and then with the help of Exarch Antim I followed in the Gabrovo High School, which ended in 1872. In the same year he taught for a little while in Orhanie (now Botevgrad), but when the Russo-Turkish War broke out (1877-1878), he moved to Sofia, where he became a translator of the Sofia District Chief. Dimitar Mishev published in three large volumes, as an edition of the Holy Synod, Church Archives, respectively in 1925, 1929 and 1931. He created a Bulgarian Union "Father Paisii" and edited his body "Otets Paisii". He is the head of the Bulgarian section of the League for the Protection of Human Rights and the citizen of the Peace Society of the Community of the Peoples.Dimitar Mishev died in 1932 in Sofia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnomusicology is an academic discipline with a very broad mandate: to understand why and how human beings are musical through the study of music in all its geographical and historical diversity. Ethnomusicological scholarship, however, has been remiss in articulating such goals, methods, and theories. A renowned figure in the field, Timothy Rice is one of the few scholars to regularly address this problem. In this volume, he offers a compilation of essays drawn from across his career that finds implicit and yet largely unrecognized patterns unifying ethnomusicology over its recent history. Modeling Ethnomusicology summarizes thirty years of thinking about the field of ethnomusicology as Rice frames and reframes the content of eight of his most important essays from their original context in relation to the environment of today's ethnomusicology. Rice proposes a variety of models meant to guide students and researchers in their study of ethnomusicology. Some of these models pull together disparate strands of the field, while others propose heuristic models that generate questions for researchers as they plan and conduct their research. A new introduction to these essays reviews the history of his writing about ethnomusicology and proposes an innovative model for theorizing in ethnomusicology by ethnomusicologists. This book will be an enduring, essential text in undergraduate and graduate ethnomusicology classrooms, as well as a must-buy for established scholars in the field.

Download or read book The A to Z of Bulgaria written by Raymond Detrez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few states have fought as hard or as long to be established as that of the Republic of Bulgaria. The Bulgarians have over the centuries created their own principalities, kingdoms, and republics only to have them crushed by stronger entities, including the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. While recently, the communist regime was largely dominated by and overly submissive to the Soviet Union. Fortunately, about 15 years ago, a new republic arose, which began revamping the economy, reviving the political life, and forging a new place in Europe. The A to Z of Bulgaria contains more than 600 cross-referenced entries on Bulgarian historical periods, places, terms, organizations, events, and personalities. The number of entries, dealing with historical figures and events, has been considerably enlarged, and all of the entries of the first edition that have remained were carefully updated. The newest insights of Bulgarian historiography as practiced in Bulgaria and abroad are also reflected. In addition, the book includes a brief introduction into Bulgarian history from the earliest times until mid-2005 (including the formation of the current cabinet), an easy-reference chronology of Bulgarian history, several maps, and lists of Bulgarian political parties, administrations, and leaders. A comprehensive bibliography is included to facilitate further reading on Bulgaria and Bulgarian history.

Download or read book Black Lambs and Grey Falcons written by John B. Allcock and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century the Balkan countries b ecame the subject of a rather romantic fascination for the public at large. This has had important consequences for the way in which the region has been viewed since then, and the creation of this image has had an impact on the many aspects of West European and North American responses to the Balkans, ranging from diplomatic and military involvement to the burgeoning flow of tourists. This vision of the area has been created in large measure by the writing of women travellers such as those represented in this volume. The achievements of these women are quite remarkable: in many cases their travels were adventurous, and even dangerous, reaching into parts of the countryside which were remote and hardly known to outsiders. Not only as travellers but also in the fields of medical and military service, scholarship and education, journalism and literature, did these travellers contribute in very significant ways to the expansion of women's horizons, and to the attempt to gain greater freedom for women in society in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bulgarians in the Past: Pages From the Bulgarian Cultural History The present volume treats and delineates the most important phenomenon in the social life of the Bulgarians, side by side, as far as that is expedient, with that of their neighbouring peoples to whom they are intellectually and organically related. Being a first attempt of its kind among us, it may not be free from omissions or other defects which seem almost unavoidable in the sketching out of so numerous and so various facts and events, persons and ideas. But in order to neutralize any tendency to subjectivity which, as a rule, underestimates when it tries to overestimate, the explanation of the principal facts, events, persons, and ideas has been levelled to a criterium already established by native and foreign writers, authorities on the question. It would be a great moral satisfaction to the author if the present work succeeds in emphasizing the fact, that in our past, so little known, there is still a good deal of ore in which undoubtedly many precious metals lie hidden. It remains for the ore to pass through the smelting process of scientific investigation, through which may be obtained the pure elements which, refined by objective criticism, may regain their genuine brilliancy.
