The history of the Slavs. Permolf I.I.

The book of the largest Slavist of the 19th century Professor Joseph (Osipa) Permvolf, the author of the “only common history of the Slavs”, was published in 1886, immediately causing a living response

in the work of Iosif Perolf, the Slavs appear not A bunch of scattered and hostile peoples, as was commonly believed in Europe, but powerful, unified civilization. Of course, the pages of the history of the Slavs are full of internal straightforwardness, fratricidal wars, religious and cultural disunity. Why did this happen? Why could not closely related peoples unite their forces for centuries, to compose a powerful union? And most importantly - is it possible to revive the once lost unity?

The book of Joseph Permolf, recognized by the classic of Slavic studies, is first published with a rich illustrative row. As an addition to the publication, an essay on Alexander Rittich, telling about the life of the ancient Slavs, is included.
