People's homes are different and incredible. They were built in ancient times, and they are still being built now, trying to make them beautiful and comfortable for life. The book will tell you what guided the peoples of different countries when creating a house, its interior and a real homely atmosphere. One fairy tale of the Khanty people says that the house arose before the surrounding world. When the storyteller was asked how it could happen that the house was older than heaven and earth, he calmly replied: “God had to live somewhere!” This is a fairy tale, but home is really important to life, and each people made their own discoveries, creating where they were supposed to live. Yurts and wigwams, huts and towers, towers and pagodas. It is impossible to list the buildings themselves, and even more difficult is what the houses were built from. The book will tell you about this, and as we read, the houses themselves will appear before our eyes - from a cave to a skyscraper! - and amazing legends and stories that accompany people’s exploration of the surrounding space.
