F.K. Schlosser illuminates the main periods of the historical process, guided by his desire to create a history of all humanity as a single whole, highlighting the lives and circumstances of the people. His work remains highly relevant in the study of world history today. Schlosser also played a significant role in the development of social thought in Russia. Chernyshevsky played an active role in the translation of his major works into Russian. In semi-leather bindings from the period. Good condition (see photo).
