Leather-bound gift book "Men about women, women about men. Aphorisms"

Gift book "Men about women. Women about Men" is a book of aphorisms, quotes and wise sayings of great people that describe all the contradictory harmony of relationships. A woman in the eyes of a man is an eternal mystery, the object of his passion and worship, and sometimes contempt and hatred, a topic for endless arguments and discussions. But representatives of the fair sex have always been willing to talk about men and everything related to them. Male inconstancy and laziness, love and infidelity, male courage and intelligence, vices and virtues — nothing escaped the keen female gaze.

The differences between a man and a woman actually complement each other, giving them the opportunity to find a balance. In a relationship, as in many other cases, a man should know that a woman's "I do not know" does not mean "no" at all. As in the case of decision-making, a man and a woman make up and express their opinions in different ways. A woman, unlike a man, needs more time to come to an opinion, since they previously consider different points of view and collect all available information.

The question of whether a man and a woman are different, equal and equal, or only different, or only equivalent, or maybe different, but unequal and unequal, has worried minds and hearts throughout the history of mankind. As time passed, ideas about the role of women and the role of men in society changed. The 20th century is a century of revolutions, including revolutions in the relations between men and women. This makes the problem of gender relations more relevant than ever.

Ancient Oriental wisdom considers the relationship between men and women as a symbol of "Yang" and "Yin", day and night, joined together in a perfect circle. The very word "gender" means half of something, incomplete, half of the whole, and in order to become complete they must connect together. Therefore, a man and a woman are halves of something whole, and the more they argue about who is better, the more they are inferior.

The collection of sayings and aphorisms, illustrated with works of Russian and world painting, presents statements by famous men and women of different eras and peoples about each other — sometimes their words sound in unison, but more often they contradict each other…
