Secrets of History. Book 1: Secrets of the Ancient World. Secrets of the Classical World. Secrets of the Middle Ages. Secrets of Modern Times

For us, residents of the 21st century, it often seems that the past has forever remained in the past. Agree, has it ever happened? What connection do all these people from bygone eras, who didn't even have plumbing, have to... us — people who can easily handle high-tech gadgets since kindergarten? But remember how it is: you flip through an old family album and suddenly stop in amazement as you encounter a faded photograph of a person whose facial features are exactly like those of their distant descendant. As if it is him, only dressed "in antique." At that moment, you suddenly understand clearly: the past is always here, it lives in us, we are its heirs. The past reliably keeps its secrets, and as we all know, it does not reveal them to just anyone who claims there are no secrets in history. The famous writer Kir Bulychev — a man who believed in the future, the creator of enthralling books about Alisa Selezneva — was an outstanding connoisseur of the past. For under this pseudonym was none other than Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko — a true large scholar of the East, who devoted his entire life to the professional study of history.
You are in for an amazing journey through the Ancient World, the world of the Classical Era, the Middle Ages, and Modern Times, accompanied by a completely unique guide — the master of words Kir Bulychev and the scholar I. V. Mozheiko in one person.
