The Order of Scorpions is a novel which makes you delve into the unknown, there are many though-provoking moments that take your fancy and many puzzles to which the reader has to find a clue. It may so happen that they will change your life forever, young writer Nadezhda Dineva says in an interview to Europost.

We, humans, appropriate a lot of things - we believe that the only existing form of intelligence is the one we possess, that only we have emotions, feelings and the right to freedom in a world we have usurped. This is such a fallacy, says writer Elena Aleksieva in an interview to Europost.

I don't believe that we, the people, are only evil or only good. Sometimes we may be good, another time we are worse. I am myself this type of a person, says author Dulce Maria Cardoso in an interview to BTA.

Wisdom is something very different form information; it is very different from knowledge too. Wisdom is related not to the existential question “what” but rather “how”. How can we become better citizens, friends and people? I hope that my new book can somehow contribute to the revival of this kind of philosophy of wisdom. This is the role that philosophy used to have and should have - once again - in people's lives, journalist and author Eric Weiner says in an interview to BTA.

The Buendia family and its utopic village of Macondo, imagined by the brilliant mind of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, will be brought to people's living rooms with the first screen adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude.

It is quite like planting trees - here, in the wild land that is my hometown of Radomir - and knowing that they would bear fruit in 30 years, translator and writer Zdravka Evtimova says in an interview to Europost.

The story of a poet forced to flee his motherland because of the totalitarian regime, a poet who spent years in a psychiatric facility in Britain, actually reflects 20th century history, writer Martin Reiner says in interview to Europost.

I take great interest in people and I am a very careful observer. This is evident in my books, in the minor details I describe, they draw my attention. When I am writing a book, I penetrate deeply into each character and look at the world through their eyes, writer Carolina Schutti says in an interview to Europost.
