A close study of the baths of all times and peoples has shown that they have accompanied humanity since ancient times, because they meet its urgent life needs. The history of baths leads from ancient Egypt and continues with biblical times; recently it became known that baths existed among the ancient inhabitants of America. The history of morals, culture in a broad sense, is inextricably linked with the baths. What they were built from, what they melted and how the baths were decorated, to what temperature the air warmed up, what procedures the amateurs pleased themselves with, what ideas were associated with baths in different centuries, funny bath "plots" and advice from doctors - all this is a fascinating book by the famous journalist A. Rubinov.
