Entertaining Geometry

Is geometry a dry and serious science, with nothing amusing or engaging? In Yakov Perelman’s book on geometry, it is presented in an entertaining, witty, and playful manner. Geometric problems can be solved not just hunched over a textbook, but... at the beach, on a picnic, while hiking, in the woods or fields, by a river or pond. Trees, grass, and the sky, wind, water, and sun – here is the "audience" for those getting acquainted with "entertaining geometry" according to Perelman. Additionally, the book discusses which interesting geometric phenomena are described in the works of Jules Verne, Jack London, and Mayne Reid, Pushkin, Gogol, and other renowned authors of both domestic and foreign literature, and who among them was correct in their descriptions and who was mistaken.
