Библия с илл. Г. Доре

The Bible is the best-selling book of all time, with average annual sales of approximately 100 million copies. The Bible went through many tests: it was banned, burned at the stake, and attempts were made to defame it, but nevertheless it survived. Illustrated scenes on biblical themes were created by many masters of fine art, but the French artist and engraver Gustave Doré is recognized as the most outstanding. Doré's illustrations make biblical characters and scenes seem believable and authentic. Gustave Doré's exquisite paintings have stood the test of time and are still the most vivid depictions of important biblical events. The most successful combination of classic biblical texts and classic brilliant illustrations by Gustave Doré!
