The book brought to your attention contains unique facts on physics and geography, chemistry and biology, history and economics, religion and mythology, literature and art. Its main task is not so much to inform the reader as to arouse interest in a particular area of knowledge. Questions and answers will give him the opportunity to think about the amazing diversity of the world around him and about man’s amazing ability to understand it, about the limitless power of the mind and its humiliating dependence on absurd prejudices, about the nobility and baseness of the human soul and about much, much more.
