[ This is a pretty big and motley book in order to give an idea about the *cover* and it is also non-fiction, so that I have no idea here. I may propose only some greyish colour to hint that this is serious reading. ]
[ Remark for this site: I publish here <only> the Contents with the Abstracts, so that you have to search later the concrete work, but there is nothing so bad in this because there is nothing new here, this is just a collection of old works ordered thematically. ]

All volumes are:
I. Communism Versus Democracy
II. Market, Business, Economy
III. Social Matters And Healthy Life
IV. Sundry Other Things — This
CONTENTS (Of This Volume IV)
00. Short Preface (to the whole collection)
[ Explains why the making of collection was necessary and what it contains (in all cases <nothing> new, but thematically selected). (2019) ]
01. The pentaism — religion of the future — chapter IV.from "The Communism As Religion (popular study)"
[ This is my first, but not last, invented <atheistic> religion, that could sometime substitute the communism, providing people will decide in the end to behave reasonably — what they will never do, ha, ha. Yet the idea is pretty interesting, it does not grow old (unlike me). (1998) ]
02. About the Creation and the created — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ The material contains the following chapters: I. The Creation, II. The Nature, III. The Organized Matter, IV. The Human Being. (2000) ]
03. About the population — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ Here the chapters are: I. The Overpopulation, II. The Optimal Population, III. The Way To The Goal, IV. Life Expectancy. (2000) ]
04. About the future — from "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ With the chapters: I. Past And Present, II. Near Future, III. Distant Future. (2000) ]
05. Constitution of Cynicland — Addendum to "Ten Cynical Essays"
[ Here the chapters are: I. Rights And Obligations Of The Individual, II. Public Reason, III. Elections Of The Parliament And The President, IV. Conclusive Directions. (2000) ]
06. Why the cocks crow early morning? — when nothing is added after the title the piece is from the quite big "Now, Look Here (Publicistics)" book
[ This material proposes some philosophical, etymological, and of other kind, <un>professional observations over the birds. (2012 ) ]
07. Does global warming exist?
[ When I pose in this way the question, then to all appearance I doubt in this. My view, which I will express in this material, is in this, that there is not so much global warming, as is <global stirring> of the weather. We shall see is it so, in what this is expressed, and what can be done in order to eliminate it, if we want this. (2012) ]
08. Nomen est numen! (to name is to define) — Feuilleton
[ The feuilleton is dedicated to the exclusive significance of the <name> for the success of prominent political figures; jokes aside, but this really is, and not of small, importance. (2000) ]
09. About the usefulness of cockroaches (<scientific> feuilleton)
[ This feuilleton is obviously dedicated to the cockroaches; the way of narration is quite popular and of use for everybody. (2012) ]
10. Thoughts about Ukraine
[ This material is dedicated to the long-lasting confrontation of Ukraine and Russia, why this is bad, and what the Ukrainians have first of all to do. The approach is not typical, these are thoughts, based on the understanding of the situation by the author, yet is used also his sufficient experience in similar in many, chiefly economic, aspects Bulgaria. (2014) ]
11. An Illiterate World (idea about worldwide alphabet) — from "Scientific Feast (Propositions, Ideas, Realizations - PIR)"
[ This is serious paper about the necessity in our time, in the time of Internet, of one universal <worldwide alphabet>, with analysis of multiple languages, with establishing of the major <types of sounds> but for all languages, with concrete proposition for the needed letters, with examples in four languages, then variation of the keyboard, also with examples, and with small generalizing conclusion. (2003, 2013) ]
12. Reflections About The Numbers (popular etymology and more) — from "Scientific Feast (PIR)"
[ This is a popular booklet (which exists also in one more place) about the names of all digits and more important numbers in <different> languages, about their graphical images, and about various possible <ideas> hidden behind their names. The questions are pretty complicated and lost in the gone centuries, it might be that they are somewhere partially explained, but the author has come to them <alone>. These are things interesting for everybody, they, in principle, are not very difficult, but as far as they require some mathematical knowledge and profound etymological researches, they are practically known to nobody (well, some, say, 2-3 % guess about <something>, yet surely not about all moments). So that this is serious scientific paper, only popularly written. (2012) ]
13. Myrski's English Transliteration — from "Scientific Feast (PIR)"
[ This material is only in English. It proposes one author's method for transliteration of all English words using only the Latin characters, which idea is later extended for all other languages, where in focus are taken German, Russian, Bulgarian, Italian, and French; there is given example based on a small paragraph in those languages. This idea is very actual and the paper provides an alternative approach to the “Illiterate World”, which is put in PIR on the first place. (2015) ]
14. Fantasy In Ety Mol (on theme of genders and sexes) — from "Scientific Feast (PIR)" (yet might be as separate piece)
[ This is an etymological and educational paper, but written in a frivolous and funny manner, discussing the grammatical genders, some forms related with them, the sexes, the very sexual organs and other similar notions, as well also some philosophical observations about the sexes, interesting ideas which various nations keep in their heads related with the sexes.(2018) ]
15. Idea about new calendar — from "Scientific Feast (PIR)"
[ This is exactly what is said (2012) ]
16. What we want to tell the world?
[ This is quite critical paper, which takes in focus Bulgarian symbols, the spirit of the Bulgarian, and a heap of not rightly understood ideas from our newest history. It is written from the standpoint of a thoughtful person, and because the behaviour of the nations as whole is wide away from the reasonable, then this material may look to some readers as pretty daring and insolent, but many of the judgements exceed the national borders and are applicable also to other nations. (2003) ]
17. About Bulgarian Barbarity (minuses, yet also pluses) — from "Social Essays"
[ This is a thorough, methodical, etymological, philosophical, yet also popular and funny essay or study about especially Bulgarian barbarity, with many examples and comparisons between us and the other countries. It is long, but it is so <untraditional>, that I think that is worth the efforts to read it; this is very sharp critique of barbarity, but at the same time also tribute to it, because who can predict the intentions of God, even <I> can't, so that when the Bulgarians exist they have to be created with some purpose. (2018) ]
18. Open Letter To God Almighty (philosophical essay) — from "Social Essays"
[ This is both, philosophical and funny essay about such unprovable things like the existence of God, the Creation, the organized matter, the ad hoc method of creation of what can be created and without global sight at the things, and some other related questions. (2018) ]
19. Bulgarian Lessons — from "For Arabs, Chinese, and Hindus (collection of papers)"
[ This is a try to provide English reading people all around the world with an easy and simple <introduction> to Bulgarian language. The material contains the following parts: the way how the Slavonic alphabet looks, together with one method to mark in Latin the exact pronunciation, then phonetical explanations coupled with author's ideas about the types of vowels and consonants, after this some simple grammar, without going into much details, and to the end is placed a super-short (which is not really very short) dictionary of Bulgarian words by categories together with their nearest relations with other Western languages (German, English, Latin, Greek, etc, yet also Russian in places as another Slavonic one). (2016) ]
20. Under Bulgarian Banner — from "For Arabs, Chinese, and Hindus"
[ In this paper I stand thoroughly on the previous material with the intention to make one directly crucial for all Arabs, Hindus, etc., proposition that is related with Bulgarian, yet not exactly, banner. Well, it sounds to a great extent utopian, but nevertheless is entirely realizable and leads to a bunch of nice consequences. (2016) ]
21. Down With The English (Language)! — from "For Arabs, Chinese, and Hindus"
[ This paper was written practically anew in English and its contents is obvious — we, all the world, have to cease using this language so widely because it is simply ... vulgar, many grammatical categories are not well qualified, et cetera. More precisely, after some preliminaries, I try to excuse the ancient Englishmen who have made this super-simplified language, then I explain what is so bad with it in comparison with the others European (at least) languages, and in the end I mark out some important places in the language where something has to be done in order to better it, if the people want to do this.(2016) ]

SHORT PREFACE (to the whole collection)
Let me explain briefly why I make this collection of non-fiction and what it contains. Well, I make it because it is so done, usually, because one writes and writes on different themes and in various books and it comes, if comes, time when he (OK, sometimes also she) wants to collect the things by themes, this is as if more proper, and an attitude more directed to the readers. So that after more than a quarter of a century literary work, and especially when I intent to try to sell something as books (or ebooks), I have decided to make four volumes with my materials, papers, parts of books, sometimes even abridged papers, on the following themes:
1. Communism Versus Democracy,
2. Market, Business, Economy,
3. Social Matters And Healthy Life,
4. Sundry Other Things.
These topics, naturally, are not strictly divided, nor ordered in the best manner, but now they exist and this is better than if they were not collected in this form. They are not strictly divided because the topics intersect, but not very much, in this way the materials are better located. The ordering of the things is as if chronological, yet not always, because of some local clustering in some sub-themes, what I find unavoidable. But, mark, that in all cases I publish here <nothing> new, this is simply a <collection>! And what will be in these parts I will not explain as redundant, the names are eloquent enough. Probably it is good to say what I have left aside, how much. Well, about 10 percents (in all cases not more than 20), because I have almost nothing that is not actual in the moment, or can not become such later, if the situation changes; I have left aside mainly things, Appendixes, which look more scientific, or too obvious and elementary.
Another reason, why I make this in the beginning of 2019, is that I have stopped with this boring (for me) practice of writhing in one language and then translating in some others, no, this will happen no more, because in 69 years one has to begin to value higher his time and do just the necessary. And, after all, when I have moved from my native Bulgarian language, to my very familiar Russian one, and then to the contemporary standard for a language, the English, intending also to translate something (the beginning 3 books) in German, I have come to the top, I have nowhere else to move. For a pair of years I write everything first in English and now this will be also the last language for most of the things; the possible exception is if I have to publish something in the easiest for me way (like I have not yet published my multilingual dictionary Explain, in Bulgarian, or probably to translate it in Russian), or if writing poetry in different languages, or, then, if I decide to begin to use also my real name (and this only in Bulgarian). Put in other words, here are non-fiction things that are translatable, or which I intend to translate; the poetry, obviously, is untranslatable for me (I don't mean to be like Shakespeare, or Pushkin, or Dante, etc.), for the enormous <Urrh> is impossible to think about translation, the <Letters> (to the posterity) is also difficult to translate and I have never had such intentions, the same about not yet published Explain dictionary, the SF-stories (which are not exactly SF things but rather outmoded social SF) are fiction, they have nothing to do with this collection, and whatever new book of non-fiction I will write (like my future “No problems poses problems”) I will write only in English.
So this is, guys and girls, if I were much read I would have adapted to the auditory, but if I am not, I adapt to my easiness and comfort. You try to do something better than this for the people, the word, the posterity, just for free, but I have done what I can. What means that I publish myself on many sites for free, and there I am relatively (for non-fiction) read, and I publish myself for some fee on some sites, and there I am <not> read (because the people somehow feel that I say <right> things, that are good and moral and necessary and allowed, and when so then they should <not> pay, they are used to pay for … silly or harmful or unmoral things, that's what the capitalism teaches us, alas). However it is, I don't think to become a prophet, I am rather an outmoded preacher, or, then, a thinker gone ahead of his time. Or also: those who are silly enough and need some teaching and instructing and explanations, they avoid giving an ear to me because they don't like to think (and this is <why> they are silly), and those who are clever enough to understand me, they avoid reading this because I say trivial common-sense things, nothing really profound, in order to be read as a must in some scientific area. The only salvation for me, or the way to glory, was to preach silly things that people can easily grasp, but I don't want to come so low, or to delude them with invented fables, but I don't want to lie, I am used to seek the truth, not the lie. And it is too late for me to remodel myself, you take me (how I am), or leave me (to perish by myself, like falling tree-leaves with the coming of winter, ha, ha).
Jan, 2019, Sofia, Barbaria, sorry, Bulgaria.
