Энциклопедический словарь Современная версия

The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Brockhaus and Efron is one of the largest Russian encyclopedias, standing on a par with such monumental publications as the French Larousse, the German Brockhaus and the English Britannica. This national treasure is now, unfortunately, available only to narrow specialists, although its name is familiar to any person. You are holding in your hands a new, modern version of the famous encyclopedia, which contains universal information in various areas of society, such as history, philosophy, jurisprudence, economics, geography, history of art and literature, ethnography, zoology, geology, physics, chemistry, botany , anatomy, architecture, military and maritime affairs. Giving a real opportunity to look into past eras, to reproduce a picture of the world of the past and present, to make interesting comparisons, the book will be of interest both to specialists: historians, writers, linguists, literary critics, and to the widest range of readers.
