Four Centuries of Bulgarian Renaissance
Quite possibly one of Sir Steven Runciman's best works, this book clearly, cleverly, and intelligently portrays a history of the rise of the Bulgarian state, from its formation out of a Hunnish tribe, through its civilization from the Byzantine Empire, through its legacy as the cultural center of the Orthodox Church to the Slavs, to its rival with the Byzantine Empire itself. Thoroughly readable, Runciman adds wit, intelligence, and historical humor to produce a book written on a topic little covered in the English language. Anyone who can get their hands on this hard-to-find book will not want to let it go. Why this book has not been republished is something I will never understand. Here we learn that it was Bulgaria, not Russia, not was the first student and benefactor from the Byzantine Commonwealth. A must-have addition. ... Read more

Product Description

Now an Eastern European leader in the fields of science and technology, a nation with impressive renewable energy production capabilities and an extensive communication infrastructure, as well as a top exporter of minerals and metals, Bulgaria has grown both economically and politically over the past two decades.

The History of Bulgaria examines the country's development, describing its cultural, political, and social history and development over 13 centuries. The modern era is particularly emphasized, including Bulgaria's role in World War II, the long tenure of Communist leader Todor Zhivkov, the role of Aleksandur Stamboliiski and the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union, and the myriad changes in Bulgaria's post-Communist period. The author also highlights significant individuals in Bulgarian history, such as Dimitur Peshev, the Deputy Speaker whose actions saved 50,000 Jews from the Holocaust.

BULGARIA AND SERBIA I Introductory THE whole of the Balkan peninsula, bounded on the north by the rivers Save and Danube, on the west by the Adriatic, on the east by the Black Sea, and on the south by a very irregular line running from Antivari (on the coast of the Adriatic) and the lake of Scutari in the west, through lakes Okhrida and Prespa (in lVlaccdonia) to the outskirts of Salonika and thence to 11idia on the shores of the Black Sea, following the coast of the Aegean Sea some miles inland, 1S preponderatingly inhabited by Slavs. These Slavs are the Bulgarians in the east and centre, the Serbs and Croats (or Serbians and Croatians or Serbo-Croats) in the west, and, in the extreme north-livest, between Trieste and Laibach, the Slovenes, which three nationalities compose the southern branch of the Slavonic race. The other inhabitants of the Balkan peninsula are, to the south of the Slavs, the Albanians in the west, the Greeks in the centre and south, and the Turk

Horrid
At over 80 dollars for a 200-page book that is made up of entirely copypasta'd articles from Wikipedia, this book is definitely not worth your time. The chapters are not at all edited/proofread/checked for accuracy, and are slapped together in haphazard order, with no sense of flow or cohesion from one chapter to another. it's embarrassing that a site I love and enjoy would allow these books to be sold through its site.
