  Battles on satin sheets. Holiness, eros and flesh in China. Battles on satin sheets. Holiness, eros and flesh in China. Baltasar Gracian is the greatest Spanish moral philosopher and writer of the XVII century. He renewed the very spirit of Spanish literature and created manuals for all occasions. Gracian's writings were forgotten for a long time, until Schopenhauer and Nietzsche rediscovered the philosopher to the reading public. The Pocket Oracle is the science of self-attention, the science that turns life into a novel. Reading the "Pocket Oracle" not only helps to understand the paradoxes and oddities of mental life, including modern man, but also to unravel the mysteries of the Spanish Baroque culture. "Thoughts" is the unfinished work of the great French scientist and philosopher of the XVII century, Blaise Pascal. This work, despite its fragmentary nature, belongs to the highest achievements of the human spirit. It contains the deepest and at the same time the most poignant reflections on God and human nature, on the purpose of life and the meaning of death.

  The leather-bound book "Cooking edition 1955." The leather-bound book "Cooking edition 1955." The thousand-page "Cookery", published in 1955, was intended for chefs, but in Soviet times it was the dream of every housewife. Such a weighty volume has been passed down from generation to generation. The handbook has everything: recipes for luxurious dishes that are practically inaccessible to an ordinary Soviet person; a description of all the processes associated with cooking; the basics of rational nutrition and dietary dishes;  drawings of achievements in the food industry (for example, potato peelers or wiping machines); cuisine of the peoples of the Union republics; examples of serving, and most importantly – color illustrations. The table of contents alone can evoke nostalgia, awe, surprise, admiration and many other emotions in a modern person at the same time. You can read it almost like a poem: sauce with truffles, "dominoes" of cod, volovani with champignons, lampreys baked in puff pastry, forshmak of meat in a roll, coffee cheese, broth with dumplings and cock scallops. And what are fried pheasant with chestnuts, truffles in champagne, ice cream "Surprise" and cocktail "Spa"? The names of the national dishes of the Union republics are pronounced as spells at all: kuyrdak, chikhirtma, bozartma, morku apkapass, kalalaatikko, tukhumbarak and halvaytar. Someone, looking at the "bible" of the Soviet chef, will remember rare and such coveted trips to the sea, or family feasts for which they had been preparing for six months, or rare trips to restaurants more similar to today's canteens, or a communal kitchen where everything sizzled, shredded, passioned and baked… This book is a monument to an entire epoch, an encyclopedia of Soviet life and the history of gastronomic exploits, dreams and realities of our people. Now it is in a handmade leather cover.
