Book Premiere: Playing with Fire, Demons, Lights and Bills, and Calculations by Zoya Zaharieva-Tsankova

Ето един ясен, финален и готов за директно публикуване на сайта превод. Използвах официалното английско заглавие на книгата, което уточнихме, и проверих изписването на всички френски имена, за да са напълно коректни за англоезичната публика. Часът отново е в 12-часов формат:

Would you like to "hear" great sages of our time talk about the atrocities of communism and its collapsed illusion, about the national-imperial ambitions lurking around us, or about the revolution of the intellect? Before you, in Playing with Fire, Demons, Lights and Bills, are professors Paul Ricoeur, Heinz Wismann, Jean Jamin... Or perhaps you wish to wander through the realm of education to discover why students in a French lycée are happy, while scientists are dissatisfied with their professional fate? With Jean Orizet—a lyricist and novelist—you will touch the chaos that leads the poet to a dancing star. Are you curious how the prisoner José Giovanni stepped out of jail and into high literature, becoming a screenwriter and director? With the great mime Marcel Marceau, we will not stay silent, but converse. The first interlocutor is Stéphane Courtois—the lead author of The Black Book of Communism. In total, there are THIRTY-THREE Frenchmen: all powerhouses of intellectual thought.

Join us to hear more at the book premiere on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the Sofia Club in Grand Hotel Sofia (1 Gurko St.).

Presented by Prof. GEORGI KAPRIEV Featuring Dr. ZHANA DAMYANOVA and Prof. RUMEN VALCHEV Hosted by Assoc. Prof. GEORGI TSANKOV
