What nation's flag carrier is a puppy smuggled on in Besnilo
Rabies (novel) Besnilo (in English: Rabies), published in 1983, is a thriller-horror novel by the Serbian author Borislav Pekić. The author has, within the framework or those genres, set up many of the ideas he had been working on in his previous published opus. The 1983 novel's plot revolves around the outbreak of an extremely virulent form of rabies, introduced to the London Heathrow Airport by a puppy smuggled from Israel on an Alitalia jet headed for New York City. Due to the mutated nature of the virus, its incubation period has been reduced to hours instead of weeks or months, and its method of transmission now follows more closely that of the flu. Through multiple plot-lines, the story follows subjects as diverse as détente, espionage, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and many others.
Embassy of China, Berlin The building complex near the Jannowitz Bridge, in use since 1999, was built in 1988 after the plans of Jens Ebert for 182 million marks and was the new seat of the Federal Board of FDGB ("House of Unions"). After Die Wende, it was rebuilt to a convention center ("Berliner Congress Center - BCC"), but soon went out of service. As a result of the Capital Decision in 1991, the Chinese Embassy (in the former West Germany) moved in 1999 from Bonn to Berlin. Both Chinese embassies merged and acquired the convention center. The conversion was carried out according to plans of Novotny Mähner Associated. The building has a silver exterior, decorated with mirrored windows. There is a sculpture of a Chinese guardian lion on the portal.
