These textbooks of life wisdom invariably spark reader interest. "Domostroy," created in the 16th century, became a symbol of old Moscow; "The Honest Mirror of Youth" (18th century) depicts social and domestic life in the new, Peter's Russia. They mutually complement and illuminate each other, perfectly tracing the historical path of Russia and the historical experience of past centuries.
