Demosthenes. His Life and Work

These biographical sketches were published about a hundred years ago in the series “The Life of Remarkable People,” carried out by F. F. Pavlenkov (1839–1900). Written in a genre new for that time—poetic chronicle and historical-cultural research—these texts have remained valuable to this day. Published “for ordinary people,” for the Russian provinces, today they can be recommended not only to bibliophiles, but to the widest reading audience: both for those who are completely unacquainted with the history and psychology of great people, and for those for whom these topics are a profession.
