Full textAbstract:
Prospero’s renunciation of his book in The Tempest acknowledges its power as a kind of ‘fetish’. This essay traces the idea of the book as ‘commodity fetish’ and as material text. The argument examines how post-Marxist thought, in a new reading of Louis Althusser, might be used to challenge the Shakespeare of late capitalism. It suggests how a complex reading of the fetish in historiography, combining a history of the material book in Shakespeare, with a theoretical reading of William Pietz, Stephen Greenblatt and Peter Stallybrass, sheds light on the First Folio, one of the most famous – and fetishized – books in history.

Full textAbstract:
In the present paper English, German, French, Italian and Polish phraseological units containing the anthroponym Peter are discussed in a confrontative pcrspective with a special focus on the onym. In the phraseologisms the anthroponymic component functions as: the saint's name, the element of the name of a children' s book hero (Peter Pan), the first name followed by a surname (Peter Funk, Peter Jay), the deproprial name of a children's game (der schwarze Peter). The most numerous groups of idioms in the languages compared is composed of the units containing the saint's name. Many of them belong to recessive phraseology, others are of international character. The name of the children's book hero functions as a component of units found in all languages analyzed. The idioms realizing the model 'the first name followed by a surname' are found in English phraseology, while the deproprial name of a children's game is a component of a German idiom.

Full textAbstract:
Alongside Catullus and Ovid, Martial is the Latin writer who tells us most about the ancient book, and he receives detailed treatment in most histories of ancient book production: he has a chapter to himself, for instance, in Roberts and Skeats' The Birth of the Codex. Books and reading are a central concern of his poetry from his very first publications: around 10-15% of the epigrams deal with this theme. The topic has received, however, much less attention from literary critics than from scholars interested in the Realien of ancient book production, and those who have paid attention to it have tended to play down the importance of the published books compared to the ‘occasional’ reception of the epigrams either through recitation or through informal pamphlets (the so-called ‘libelli’ prominent in the important work of Peter White). Even John Sullivan, who was more aware than many of the importance of the book in Martial, sees the published books as ‘open-ended collections, to which material could be added as it became available or necessary’ and declares that ‘Martial is less careful about the endings of his books…than about their beginnings and general structure’. I have suggested elsewhere that, on the contrary, the endings of Martial's books may be seen as possessing particularly ingenious effects of closure, and in general it seems to me that the engagement with reception in book-form shown by Martial's epigrams is extremely sophisticated.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the history of Antwerp printed books, which, in the first half of the 17th century, underwent a profound transformation caused by the influence of the Baroque style emerging in the Netherlands, with its characteristic contrast, dynamism and intensity of images, and combination of reality and illusion. The author demonstrates the Baroque book development by the example of the sources that she first introduces into scientific circulation: books stored in the Research Department of Rare Books (Book Museum) of the Russian State Library (RSL). The article gives examples of the formation of a new allegorical thinking of the Baroque, in which allegory became the norm of artistic vocabulary. The new allegorical imagery is noted in the title pages and illustrations of books that characterize the printing of that period. The Antwerp printer Balthazar Moretus (1574—1641) was an excellent master of this new Baroque book. By using leading artists to design his books, he took an important step in the development of book design. There are well known publications by B. Moretus featuring beautiful title pages designed by his friend Peter Paul Rubens (1577—1640). The typical appearance of text sheets is also the result of the use of elegant fonts, rich design and abundance of decorative elements. The article analyzes the influence of Rubens on the Baroque book formation in Antwerp.

CLARK, MARK J. "AN EARLY VERSION OF PETER LOMBARD'S LECTURES ON THE SENTENCES." Traditio 74 (2019): 223–47. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/tdo.2019.2.
Full textAbstract:
The discovery of a copy (in Lincoln MS 230) of Peter Lombard's lectures on the Sentences in three books (starting with the hexameral discussion that follows the treatise on the angels in the four-book version edited by Brady) makes possible for the first time investigating the development of the Lombard's theological teaching during his Parisian teaching career and the fortuna of that teaching outside of Paris. The fact that the Lombard began his early-career lectures on the Sentences in precisely the same place as he began his lectures on Genesis means that all of his teaching originated with Scripture. Moreover, the fact that Lincoln MS 230 is one of many early copies of the Lombard's Parisian teaching found in English cathedral libraries — Lincoln's Cathedral Library has another manuscript containing another copy of the Sentences, Lincoln MS 31, this one on four books, almost certainly copied within the Lombard's lifetime — has revealed the inadequacy of Brady's edition for scholarly understanding of the Lombard's career and teaching. Until now, no scholar paid much attention to the fact that Brady's choice of manuscripts was largely arbitrary and that his edition reflected the state of the Lombard's text around the time of Bonaventure in the mid-thirteenth century. Thus this discovery makes clear that the Sentences, like Gratian's Decretum and Comestor's History, developed over time. The Sentences were not, as so long assumed, a book written by the Lombard late in his career but rather the product of lectures delivered over the course of his career. The discovery of a treasure trove of English manuscripts preserving the Lombard's earliest extant Parisian teaching will enable scholars for the first time to trace the origins and development of the institutional practices of the cathedral school of Paris right up to the time of its transformation into the University of Paris.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the first known schoolbook printed especially for the elementary schools in the Badia valley (Ladinia, South Tyrol). It is a bilingual textbook for the parallel teaching of the languages Italian and German, realized at the end of the 19th century, printed in two volumes in 1906 and 1907. Above all, the article examines the historical context, in which the book was born, deepening the so-called «Enneberger Schulstreit», the virulent conflict between 1870 and 1895 regarding the use and teaching of languages in the schools of the Badia valley. Then the two authors, the teachers Peter Detomaso and Remigio Antoniolli, are presented. The central part of the article consists in a comparison of the «Ladin» book with the declared model of the work, the «Metodo pratico» of Giovanni Dolinar. Linguistic aspects (e.g.: grammar, spelling, characters/writing types, readings, writing compositions) and didactic aspects (e.g.: aims and objectives, suggestions for the teacher, proposed didactic methodologies), as well as contents (e.g.: religious texts, civics texts and historical, geographical, scientific texts) and the global structure of the book, are studied in depth.

Full textAbstract:
“Theory of Modern Drama: 1880–1950” (1956), a book by Peter Szondi (Peter Szondi, 1929–1971), who was a German literary scholar, originally from Hungary, has not yet been translated into Russian. Meanwhile, without this study, it is impossible to imagine a European discourse on drama, theatrical practice and its concepts in the second half of the 20th century. Analyzing the changes in the poetics of drama, which were first carried out by Ibsen, Chekhov, Strindberg, Hauptmann, and then by experimenters like Pirandello, Piscator, or Brecht, Szondi traced how the “decay of the formative principle of drama” occurs. According to Szondi, these processes are associated with profound changes in the style of thinking, so he saw a close connection between the weakening of the dramatic element in drama and the “aperspectivism” of Cezanne or Schönberg’s atonal music. The excerpt presented below is part of Szondi’s translated book, published in 2020 by V – A – C Press, which specializes in literature on art, cultural philosophy, and contemporary art and political practice.

The aim of the research was to describe the racial discrimination towards African-American in Green Book, a movie by Peter Farelly. The movie was based on a true story of social life in America during the reign of Jim Crow Laws in 1962. Therefore, the writer used descriptive qualitative method with sociological approach in order to describe the racism act towards colored people in America at that periodical time as depicted in the movie. The research indicated that the historical context of Jim Crow Laws, racial discrimination, the distinction of White and Colored people were reflected in the movie as it is in history. The racial injustice plot was climb up in every states where the concert was held. They went to one region to another further into Deep South. From the first region to the last one, the discrimination kept on increasing from bad to the worst form of racism.

The archives of Moscow and St. Petersburg have preserved materials for A. Tolstoy’s novel „Peter the Great.” Among them, there are sources of text, autographs, and typesetting with copyright, with descriptions of interrogations and executions of archers. They form a single “plot” and help to reproduce the sequence of the writer’s work on the text, which completes the last chapter of the first book of the novel. The samples of handwritten and printed sketches for individual scenes of the novel “Peter the Great”, stored in the ar-chives of Moscow and St. Petersburg, help to restore the writer’s working process on the text.

Full textAbstract:
Just over a century ago Heinrich Hagenmeyer published his definitive book on Peter the Hermit. It has shaped most subsequent discussions of Peter’s career, and it must be said at once that no completely new material has come to light since then. There is, however, a problem of perpetual interest posed by the divergences among twelfth-century accounts of the origins of the First Crusade. Until the advent of modern historiography, it was accepted that the expedition was provoked by an appeal from the church of Jerusalem, brought to the west by Peter the Hermit, who had visited it as a pilgrim, had seen a vision of Christ and had been entrusted by the patriarch with a letter asking for help against the oppression of the Christians there. The crusade was on this view born in the atmosphere of pilgrimage, visions and popular preaching which continued to mark its course, and is so evident in, for example, the discovery of the Holy Lance and the visions and messages which accompanied it. Peter is in some sense the embodiment of these charismatic elements, and there is no controversy about his prominence in the history of the movement. He appears as a sensationally successful preacher, who recruited and led a large contingent which left in advance of the main armies, and was cut to pieces in Asia Minor. Thereafter, he appears in the chronicles in a variety of capacities: as a runaway, and an ambassador to the Moslems, as an adviser, as an associate with the popular element among the crusaders, and finally as a guide to the sacred sites at Jerusalem. It is, however, not with these wider aspects of his career that we wish to deal in this paper, but with his special role in the summoning of the expedition. The older view was that he was its first author. Every student of the early church is familiar with militant monks and hermits. It was once believed that Peter, their spiritual descendant, was the most supremely successful of all the ascetic warmongers.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the nature of truth and certainty according to the French Franciscan theologian Peter Auriol (1280-1322). In the first section, I attempt to harmonize a few different sections of Auriol’s Scriptum on book i of the Sentences: the accounts of truth as conformity in question 2 of the Prologue and question 10 of distinction 2, and the account of truth as quiddity in question 3 of distinction 19. In the second section, I explore the notion of certainty in question 1 of the Prologue. Here, Auriol’s taxonomy of propositions is explained, and the difference between scientific certainty and the certitude of faith is outlined. God works in the background in the context of both truth and certainty, and the fact that our cognitive processes are generally trustworthy makes Auriol’s epistemological position into a species of reliabilism.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents the Russian ballet dancer and choreographer, Peter Gresserov-Golovin. Golovin completed his education in his native Moscow and migrated after the October Revolution to Slovenia, where he continued his artistic work. First in Ljubljana and later in Maribor, he participated as a ballet choreographer in many operas and operettas, and proved himself a capable director of music and theatre performances. Between the wars, he maintained the Slovenian ballet despite the poor financial situation and raised the first generation of Slovenian ballet dancers and soloists. In 1971 he was awarded the Order of Merit for the People with silver rays for his contribution to the Slovenian ballet. The last years of his life were spent in Canada, where he gathered his memories about his life and work in Slovenia in a book with the eloquent title Moja ljuba Slovenija – My Beloved Slovenia.

Full textAbstract:
The personality of Peter I and the realities of the Peter's era were reflected in the original genre, which is on the verge of historical science and literature, — “Dialogues of the Dead.ˮ This genre became widespread in Europe at the end of the 17th – first half of the 18th century. It is generally accepted that “Dialoguesˮ appeared in Russia in the middle of the 18th century in journal publications — translations of satirical works of Lucian and Fontenelle, as well as imitations of them. However, archival materials testify that “Dialoguesˮ existed in the Russian manuscript tradition in the first half of the 18th century, and these are historical and biographical texts that provide information about the course of the Northern War, the European setting of Peter's time, and outstanding commanders of this era. These dialogues are translations from German of D. Fassmann's works. Peter I himself, as the protagonist of “Dialogues of the Dead,ˮ first appeared in a Russian manuscript book (and later in print) not in translated texts, but in an original work. Its author is considered to be one of the first biographers of Peter I, P. N. Krekshin. This “Dialoguesˮ became a real literary panegyric to the Russian emperor, also due to its special artistic form.

Full textAbstract:
My aim in this paper is to study the relationship between love and pleasure as understood by the Franciscan masters Peter Aureol, William of Ockham, Walter Chatton, and Adam Wodeham. These masters have treated this relationship in their commentaries on Peter Lombard's Sentences, book 1, distinction 1. The standard subject matter of the first distinction of scholastic Sentences commentaries was the nature of beatific enjoyment (fruitio beatifica). The comparative study of these texts is important, because it sheds some light on the history of fourteenth-century scholastic philosophy of human psychology in general, and on the contribution of Franciscan writers to the philosophical and theological analysis of volition and emotions in particular.

Full textAbstract:
In my reflections on Peter Kemp’s Citizen of the World I first consider the link between cosmopolitanism and globalization. Second, I examine the historical analysis of the phenomenon of cosmopolitanism following it from its origins in ancient Greece to its manifestation in our contemporary world. Third, I reflect on the way in which cosmopolitanism can become the hermeneutic basis for a philosophy of education, the principal claim of the book.

Full textAbstract:
This book is concerned with factors that affect the way in which sound is reflected from a surface with particular emphasis on those surfaces found in auditoria. The two aspects, absorption and diffusion, are covered but the main novelty is the treatment of diffusion. Both authors have achieved well deserved international recognition for undertaking fundamental research on this topic over the last fifteen years. Trevor Cox has concentrated on the aspects of modelling, prediction and measurement whilst Peter D'Antonio has first hand experience of the application of diffusion in a range of highly significant and high profile projects. The distinct backgrounds of the two authors complement each other well, resulting in a book that will be valuable to both practitioners and researchers.

Although his name will not reverberate as much as that of some of his predecessors when researchers of the very complex subject of slavery in the Antiquity are mentioned, Peter Hunt’s works have nevertheless won him acclaim as one of the leading researchers of slaveholding societies. A professor at the University of Colorado, Hunt specializes in social history in the context of slavery and wars – specifically, in ancient Greece. His book Ancient Greek and Roman Slavery was published by Wiley Blackwell in 2018. He himself announced it back in 2012. It is his first major work on the slavery in Rome.

I never had the opportunity of meeting Peter Abrahams. I only knew him through his writings. I recall the mustiness of the copies of Wild Conquest (1950) and Tell Freedom (1954) I found hidden away behind books on a shelf at a relative’s house. Although the dust jackets of both were tattered the pages of Tell Freedom bore traces of heavy use. Not only did the latter title intrigue me but so did the palimpsests of readers past. That day I read it with increasing fervency. In hindsight, it must have been one of the first times that I recognised some familiarity, perhaps even immediacy, in a piece of writing.

Full textAbstract:
Any suggestion that in his new book, With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology, Stanley Hauerwas might at last be presenting a precis of a systematic theological project would likely be met with skepticism. The seemingly ad hoc manner in which his books have emerged over the years indicates that he is not working on anything that resembles a project. And as Hauerwas himself would be the first to declare, he is definitely not engaging in what might even remotely be deemed to be systematic theology. In fact, in his opening Gifford Lecture he admits that he is not even ‘a proper theologian’, but instead is ‘a member of an even more disreputable field called Christian ethics’ (p. 9). Yet, if the accolades that adorn the back cover of the book are not merely promotional hype, this volume is indeed the definitive statement of the Hauerwas program. For example, Robert Louis Wilken asserts that With the Grain of theUniverse is ‘a book we have long awaited’. And Peter Ochs announces that it ‘offers the comprehensive theological argument we have long requested’.

Full textAbstract:
My name is Stephanie, and I am a collector. What are my favorite things to collect? That’s easy—dolls! I bought my first Barbie when I was six years old. I was given a doll from Morocco at age seven. To this day, I continue to collect both Barbies and international dolls, but my third collection now numbers eight hundred dolls. During my first year as an elementary school librarian in 1979, I began to collect dolls based on characters from children’s books.I wanted to add some zip and zing to class visits at my school library. The previous school librarian had plugged boys and girls into listening stations with worksheets each time they came to the library. I felt my students were missing out by not hearing fantastic tales from exotic places and visiting magical worlds of wonder.Bottom line, I wanted them to experience the joy found within the covers of books. That’s when the first dolls from children’s books—Corduroy, Curious George, the Cat in the Hat, and Winnie-the-Pooh—found their way into my shopping basket and my storytelling repertoire.

Riddle 74 is one of a handful of Old English riddles of the Exeter Book that have stubbornly resisted a solution. As Bruce Mitchell and Fred C. Robinson remark, ‘scholars have suggested answers…but none satisfies all the conditions set forth in the poem’. Peter Clemoes finds the attributes that are ascribed to this particular riddle-subject to be ‘so paradoxical that it seems impossible to name their possessor at all’. Riddles normally do have answers, however, and this one is no exception. My first aim in this article is to offer an answer to Riddle 74 that will put debate to rest as to its intended solution.

Resumo: São Jerônimo teve que reinventar o latim para traduzir a Bíblia diretamente da língua hebraica, causando efeitos de estranhamento em seus contemporâneos e inaugurando uma nova concepção da arte de traduzir. No cinema contemporâneo, pelo menos dois cineastas trouxeram à tela a figura do santo tradutor: Julio Bressane, em São Jerônimo, e Peter Greenaway, em O livro de cabeceira. No caso deste, a evocação de Jerônimo entrelaça-se obliquamente, através do protagonista Jerome, à de um tradutor importante para a poesia de língua inglesa do século XX: Arthur Waley, o primeiro a traduzir para o inglês o clássico japonês O livro de cabeceira, de Sei Shonagon. No Brasil, Haroldo de Campos marca a confluência dessas duas vertentes: a da tradução criativa da poesia oriental e a da reescrita – na trilha aberta por São Jerônimo – de fragmentos da Bíblia a partir do original hebraico.Palavras-chave: São Jerônimo; tradução criativa; cinema contemporâneo.Abstract: St. Jerome had to re-invent Latin in order to translate the Bible directly from Hebrew. In doing so, he created a new conception of the art of translation. In the contemporary cinema, at least two filmmakers brought to the screen the figure of the saint-translator: Julio Bressane, in São Jerônimo, and Peter Greenaway, in The pillow book. In the case of the latter, the evocation of St. Jerome is obliquely interwoven, through the protagonist Jerome, with a prominent British translator, Arthur Waley, who was the first to translate into English the Japanese classic The pillow book by Sei Shonagon. In Brazil, Haroldo de Campos represents the convergence of these two approaches to translation: the “transcreation” of Oriental poetry and the re-writing of the Bible from the Hebrew, as St. Jerome did.Keywords: St. Jerome; creative translation; poetry; contemporary cinema.

Full textAbstract:
It may seem that there is no need to review such a well-known book. This is the second edition of Peter Singer's text, Practical Ethics. The first edition has been widely used and influential; indeed for many it defines the field of applied ethics. The field is lucky; rarely is such popular work so carefully argued, so factually well informed and so well written. In addition, it is unusual for the author of a basic text to be so daring. Peter Singer deserves credit for placing the interests of animals and famine victims on the agenda of applied ethics, and for making that agenda so prominent in public fora. But it behooves us to scrutinize carefully the power of definitive works as well. What sets the agenda is, for that very reason, more difficult to assess critically.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Thun-Hohenstein album, long-known as the Thun’sche Skizzenbuch, is a bound collection of 112 drawings that visualize armoured figures at rest and in combat, as well as empty armours arrayed in pieces. The collection gathers drawings that span the period from the 1470s to around 1590. While most of the images were executed in Augsburg during the 1540s, the album’s three oldest drawings date to the late-fifteenth century. Two of these works, which form a codicological interlude between the first and second quires, find parallels in the illustrations of contemporaneous martial treatises. This article traces the pictorial lineages of these atextual images through comparative analyses of fight books produced in the German-speaking lands, and considers how the representational strategies deployed in martial treatises inflected the ways that book painters and their audiences visualized the armoured body. This exploration situates a manuscript from which one of the drawings derives, Peter Falkner’s Art of Knightly Defense, now in Vienna, within the Augsburg book painters’ workshops that would later give rise to the Thun album. Finally, this study considers how the transmission and representation of martial knowledge in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Augsburg contributed to the later depictions of armoured bodies that populate the album.

Introduction to the work of Peter Sloterdijk, with special attention to his ideas on religion. The article first gives an overview of the main subjects of some of the most important books: Critique of Cynical Reason, the three volumes in the Spheres-trilogy: Bubbles, Globes, and Foams and In the World Interior of Capital. Subsequently, it explains the main topics in the work such as post-enlightenment, immunity systems, anthropology, and theories of social life. Finally, it discusses the main issues in Sloterdijk’s thoughts on religion, based on books such as Rage and Time, and God’s Zeal.

One of the functions of education is to teach societal norms to those who are being educated. Textbooks used in schools may be important agents of socialization. In this article Peter Freebody and Carolyn Baker explore ways in which beginning reading books present cultural perspectives to young children. The children's textbooks, which are produced and selected by adults, present to children particular views of the world. The authors explore certain modes of thought, experience, and interaction prevalent in the child's preschool life in contrast to other types of experiences characteristic of the culture of formal and literate schooling.

Full textAbstract:
The childhood of Alexey Nikolaevich Tolstoy passed on the steppe farm Sosnovka where his stepfather’s A. A. Bostrom’s estate was located. Subsequently, the writer reproduced both external appearance of the estates familiar to him, and the inhabitants of the estates and their way of life on the pages of his works. Everything that Tolstoy saw in his childhood (peasant yards, the life of a small-scale Samara estate (called ‘khutor’), a city estate) found reflection in his works and, in particular, in the manor texts, which undoubtedly include the novel Peter the Great. The paper considers the A. N. Tolstoy’s novel Peter the Great as an ‘estate text’. The first book of the novel is set in Moscow, in Kitay-Gorod. Tolstoy recreates in great detail the life of the city and its inhabitants that has gone into the past, which in the late 17th – early 18th centuries, according to the historian I. E. Zabelina looked like a big village. The descriptions of the peasant household, Moscow nobles estates and princely mansion are based, on the one hand, on the writer’s impressions and, on the other, on historical sources and represent the image of the estate. The estate plot closely connected with the characters living (both fictional and historical ones), with life of the city and the state. The novel provides a comprehensive description of the courtyard of the poor peasant Brovkin, the impoverished nobleman Volkov, as well as based on the testimony of the French envoy De Neuville and the work of S. M. Solovyov, a detailed image of the Moscow chambers of Prince V. V. Golitsyn. Childhood memories, historical sources and creative imagination allow Tolstoy to painstakingly recreate on the pages of the novel not only the image of the lost Moscow of Peter’s time, but also the ones of its inhabitants.

Full textAbstract:
The wording describing Peter's third denial: "curse and swear" gave rise to several contradictory interpretations. Some think that it is hendiadys meaning nothing but swearing. Advocates of the transitive sense of the verb ἀναθεματίζω try to guess who is the object of Peter's curse. The dominant view is that Peter curses Jesus. Others think that Peter curses himself or those who accuse him. But formula "curse and swear" appears in the Henochic myth about fallen angels (1 Hen 6:4.5.6). Peter, who denies Jesus, resembles one of the fallen angels, who opposed God's will on Mount Hermon and separated themselves from God. The following pattern, which can be observed in the First Book of Enoch (1-6): the revelation of God, the announcement of the Last Judgment and the fall of those who belong to God appear in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew twice: in Caesarea Philippi (Mark 8:27-38, Matt 16:13-28 ) and in the Caiaphas palace (Mark 14:53-75, Matt 26:57-72). The apocryphal context helps to understand that the curse always touches one who opposes God. Throwing a curse on yourself is confirmed by examples from ancient culture.

Full textAbstract:
In 1609 Peter Korkonos, the new rector (parish priest) of the St. Peter Church in Vilnius wrote an inventory of this church. It’s the oldest inventory of the church we know today. Two fragments of this document have been found in the collections of the Archive of Vilnius Archdiocese and The Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania. In this edition these two fragments of the historical source have been combined and commented. Particular attention has been paid to the problem of books, which were the property of the church at this time. The most relevant facts from the history of St. Peter Church are also mentioned in this work. The first wooden church founded about 1492–1507 burned down. The management of the parish and the years of restoration were documented by Peter Korkonos. After the death of the parson St. Peter Church was handed over to the Canons Regular of the Lateran. The presented sources have not been widely used in academic theses concerning the church. They complete former knowledge related with formation of the local library.

Full textAbstract:
The field of living immateriality of words. Fertilized by the heart and imagination of the poet Peter Kraevski. The poems that look like birds and trees at the same time. So unachievable and at the same time understandable, but only at first glance. Looking at the dense context, you want to go straight to them along the steep paths of the soul. "Hummus." A book that is deeply related to the living images of the author's incarnations - soil, humus, grass, girl, poetry, Whitman, seasons, nature, the old man, the eternal state, the ossus, the room, the bug, the nightingale, the wind …Humus - according to the Bulgarian Dictionary, this is the richest organic ingredient in the soil, which determines its fertility. Ie. it is this ingredient without which Life would not be so real. The Humus poetic book is that ingredient in modern Bulgarian poetry that gives life to the words in the ruined humus soil of the Word. It gathers in the wreath the fruits of the author's inspiration, ennobles them and plants them in the closest to the Creator plan - the perfect ground of Love and Creation.
