Description

Lists of the most significant works of world literature (scientific and artistic) of all times and peoples were compiled and published repeatedly. The authors of this book offer their own version — close to the canonical one, but filtered through their mind, soul, and heart. Valery Nikitich Demin is a Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, a well-known scholar of the North and of the traditions of cosmism in Russian culture; Yuri Andreevich Abramov is a Doctor of Economics who has devoted many years to teaching. In this book, they mutually complement each other with remarkable erudition and scientific temperament.
