A posthumous edition of G. D. Gachev’s famous book— the leading specialist in the mentality of peoples of the world. The national world and national mind are considered by G. D. Gachev on different levels: in everyday life, language, religion, literature, art, and the natural sciences.
The book includes portraits of many countries and peoples; its philosophical-theoretical part is complemented by the author’s personal impressions—his “confession,” “How I taught in America.”
