The History of the Slavs

The book by the greatest Slavist of the 20th century, Professor Joseph (Osip) Pervolf, author of the "only general history of Slavs," was published in 1886 and immediately elicited a lively response.
In the work of Joseph Pervolf, the Slavs are... presented not as a bunch of fragmented and hostile peoples, as was commonly believed in Europe, but as a powerful, unified civilization. Of course, the pages of Slavic history are filled with internal strife, fratricidal wars, and religious and cultural disunity. Why did this happen? Why were closely related peoples unable to unite their forces and form a powerful alliance for centuries? And most importantly - is it possible to revive the once lost unity?

The book by Joseph Pervolf, recognized as a classic of Slavistics, is published for the first time with a rich illustrative array. As a supplement, the edition includes an essay by Alexander Rittikh that tells about the everyday life of the ancient Slavs.
