Download or read book Bulgaria written by Philip Ward and published by The Oleander Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bulgaria: A Travel Guide takes tourists through a country rapidly blossoming into a travel hot spot. A compelling and unique supplement to the traditional travel guide, Ward's book is a delightful account of his experiences in Bulgaria, offering intriguing insight into the country's history and culture. Bulgaria is traditionally famed for its sunny beaches, the Black Sea's golden sands, and skiing in picturesque mountain resorts. Encouraging traveler creativity, this book guides the reader through lesser-known sites such as the beautiful "museum towns." When staying at the "museum town" of Melnik, for example, one should not shy away from striking up conversation with locals at Chinarite, the popular neighborhood restaurant. Ward also suggests that while visiting the renowned "Sunny Beach," tourists visit the scenic Nesebur Peninsula. Whether people watching in Lenin Square, which Ward describes as "teeming with everyday Bulgarian life," or touring the National History Museum in Sofia, the country's capital, travelers are sure to encounter people and places unknown to the average visitor.

Download or read book Perceptions of Byzantium and Its Neighbors written by Olenka Z. Pevny and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2000 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thirteen papers in this volume were delivered at the international symposium held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art May 23-25, 1997, in the context of "The Glory of Byzantium" exhibition, which was on view from March 11 through July 6, 1997. One of the main purposes of this exhibition was to explore the Byzantine Empire's complex and varied relationship with its neighbors, recognizing the multi-national, multi-ethnic, and multi-cultural character of its artistic traditions. Whereas the symposium was conceived in close conjunction with the exhibition, its intent was somewhat different. It strove to acknowledge the international character and diversity of current scholarship on Byzantine art, and to present not only new material but also the variety of objectives, approaches, and methodologies that shape modern perceptions of the subject. Thus, the symposium was not restricted to a specific theme; instead, the participants were asked to address a broad range of aspects of the "Glory of Byzantium" exhibition. The contributors to this volume, all of whom are scholars of Byzantine art and culture, hail from ten different countries, including Austria, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and the United States of America. They all hold prominent positions in the leading scholarly or cultural institutions of their respective countries, and are distinguished experts in their fields of specialization, with established international reputations. Immediately apparent is that many of the authors are from Eastern Europe, and reside in lands that once were under the ecclesiastical and cultural sway of Byzantium. Yet, their perceptions of the Byzantine artistic legacy, which contributed to the cultural identity of their homelands, rarely are included in such English-language symposia and publications.
