The story passes in the heart Of the famous Valley Of Roses, where the attar is made and over those billowy meadows, heavy with the redundant rose, over the hurrying water-courses, the groves of walnut and pear trees, the white cupolas ringed about with poplars, the little sparkling cities - over all this foreground Of rich fertility there rises the huge bulwark Of the inaccessible Balkan, snow-clad all though the tropic summer, and feeding the flowery plain with the wealth of its cascades and torrents.

Download or read book A Handbook of Bulgaria written by Geographical Section of the N Admiralty and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Bulgaria: Compiled by the Geographical Section of the Naval Intelligence Division, Naval Staff, Admiralty The Handbook of Bulgaria is designed to complete that portion of the Balkan area left uncovered by the Handbooks of the River Danube, Serbia, Macedonia, and Turkey in Europe. The present work has incorporated those portions of these Handbooks which dealt with areas adjacent to Bulgarian territory or which actually covered part of Bulgaria. Portions thus taken over have been carefully revised, and considerable additions have been made to them. Since the Handbook of Macedonia was compiled, the territory common to it and to the Bulgarian Handbook has been the scene of much constructive work, as well as of the more obvious modifications which result from a state of war. Accordingly, in this area, the information given in the Handbook of Macedonia should always be compared with that of the Handbook of Bulgaria. In the same way, this Handbook should itself be used with caution, and verified by all possible tests. The Admiralty will welcome any additions or corrections. The maps chiefly used have been those of the War Office 1: 250,000, the Austrian General Staff 1: 200,000, the old Bulgarian Survey 1: 126,000, the modern Bulgarian Survey 1: 210,000, and the excellent large-scale Bulgarian Maps 1: 40,000. The Austrian Staff Series is partially out of date, and must be used with caution. In addition to the above maps, use has been made of many others, published and unpublished, which cover only particular areas. The most satisfactory cartography is that of the country south of the Balkans, although it is liable rapidly to get out of date, owing to the activity of the Bulgars in road-making.

Book excerpt: Throughout Bulgaria at a variety of occasions, festive, religious, or social, the people will gather to join in their national Horo, a gay dance with countless variations of music and step, in a circular or chain formation for any number of dancers. The dancing of Horos is enjoyed by everyone, from the soldiers in barracks to the workers in harvest fields, and in days gone by many trades had their own version of the dance.

Download or read book East of the West written by Miroslav Penkov and published by Bond Street Books. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant debut from a rising talent praised by Salman Rushdie, among others. A grandson tries to buy the corpse of Lenin on eBay for his Communist grandfather. A failed wunderkind steals a golden cross from an orthodox church. A boy meets his cousin (the love of his life) once every five years in the waters of the river that divides their village into East and West. These are some of the strange, unexpectedly moving events in talented newcomer Miroslav Penkov's vision of his home country, Bulgaria, and they are the stories that make up his extraordinary debut collection. In East of the West Penkov writes with great empathy about 800 years of tumult in troubled Eastern Europe; his characters mourn the way things were and long for things that will never be. But even as the characters wrestle with the weight of history, the debt to family, and the pangs of exile, the stories themselves are light and deft, animated by Penkov's unmatched eye for the absurd. In 2008, Salman Rushdie chose Penkov's story "Buying Lenin" (which appears in this collection) for that year's Best American Short Stories, citing its heart and humour. East of the West reveals the full realization of the brilliant potential that Rushdie recognized.
Download or read book Taxi written by Graham Russell Gao Hodges and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the cabdriver is the real victim of the false promises of Uber and the gig economy. 2007 Noteworthy Book in Industrial Relations and Labor Economics, Princeton University Industrial Relations Section Hailed in its first edition as a classic study of New York City's history and people, Graham Russell Gao Hodges's Taxi! is a remarkable evocation of the forgotten history of the taxi driver. This deftly woven narrative captures the spirit of New York City cabdrivers and their hardscrabble struggle to capture a piece of the American dream. From labor unrest and racial strife to ruthless competition and political machinations, Hodges recounts this history through contemporary news accounts, Hollywood films, and the words of the cabbies themselves. A new preface recalls the author's five years of hacking in New York City in the early 1970s, and a new concluding chapter explores the rise of app-based ridesharing services with the arrival of companies like Uber and Lyft. Sharply criticizing the use of the independent contractor model that is the cornerstone of Uber and the gig economy, Hodges argues that the explosion of for-hire vehicles in Manhattan reversed decades of environmental anti-congestion efforts. He calls for a return to the careful regulations that governed taxicabs for decades and provided a modest yet secure living for cabbies. Whether or not you've ever hailed a cab on Broadway, Taxi! provides a fascinating perspective on New York's most colorful emissaries.
