The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins is an outstanding British scientist—ethologist—and a popularizer of science, winner of many literary and scientific awards. Every new book by Dawkins becomes a bestseller and sparks heated discussions. His works played a huge role in reviving interest in scientific books aimed at a broad audience. However, Dawkins is not only the author of the theory of memes and a passionate supporter of Darwin’s theory of evolution—he is also an equally passionate atheist and materialist. In the book “God Is Not a Illusion,” he demonstrates the talent of an excellent debater, addressing the sharpest and most topical problems of the modern world. After the release of this work—now translated into many languages—Dawkins was recognized as Author of the Year by “Reader’s Digest” and gained an entire army of enthusiastic supporters and uncompromising opponents. The disputes do not subside. “Everyone must read this book,” the British magazine “The Economist” believes.
