"Manuscripts do not burn" - this statement of one of Bulgakov's heroes can rightfully be attributed to ancient Russian literary monuments, miraculously found, burned in the fire of 1812, and yet reached the modern reader…
The events of the political life of the distant past of Russia, the deeds of princes, arguments about what a strong princely power should be; the religious views of a man of that era; considerations about the way of farming and methods of raising children, about the place and purpose of a woman - these are far from the entire range of topics touched upon by famous and unnamed authors of ancient Russian literary masterpieces. Hagiography and epistle, praise, teaching and chronicle, heroic and everyday story - since the 11th century, all these written genres have been actively replacing speech ones. At the same time, a distinctive feature of most ancient Russian monuments, whether it is "The Teaching of Vladimir Monomakh" or "The Word about Igor's Regiment", "The Tale of Bygone Years" or "The Life of Archpriest Avvakum", is an inextricable connection with Christianity and the idea of the need for the unity of Russia.
The book includes priceless works of ancient Russian literature from "The Tale of Bygone Years" to "The Life of Archpriest Avvakum". The publication is richly illustrated with ancient frescoes and miniatures, engravings and icons, illustrations from chronicles and lithographs, as well as paintings by famous domestic and Western artists.
