Letters to the son. Chesterfield F.

“Letters to the Son” is a book that Voltaire himself admired, which wrote about it as follows: “This book is very instructive, and, perhaps, this is the best of all that has ever written about education.” It was translated into many languages ​​and counted countless times, and this is not surprising at all - after all, the advice and instructions that the count gives the son are truly offended. Mind and decency, self -confidence and politeness, insight and the ability to see people through, with all their advantages and disadvantages, are excellent qualities that are equally able to come in handy to a person of any era.
