"Твърдят, че нищо не изчезва - или така е, или пък изчезва всичко." Чарлс Буковски "Понеже животът не е подреден и планиран, според мен за него трябва да се говори без претенции за всеобхватност и точност. Тази книга със сюжети за малки разкази можеше да има и друго заглавие: "Калейдоскоп", "Насън и наяве", "Вчера и утре" или дори "Надолу с главата". И понеже всеки живот е и плаване, иска ми се да не пропусна и пожеланието за нея - да има fair winds and following seas - попътен вятър и спокойно море. Всичко е по Закона на махалото: ту наляво, ту надясно. Ту ... |

This book was initially planned as a record of a series of lectures to my first classes of Bulgarian Philology, English Philology and Applied Linguistics, and Public Relations undergraduate and graduate students at the South West University of Bulgaria where, back in the early 1990s, we were to lay the foundations of an academic tradition in a fast changing world.
