Vlasova's paintings, like frescoes, are painted in oil paints, which betrays the authenticity and monumentality of the book. The book will help students prepare for history lessons.

Kuhn, who popularly retold the plots of the most important myths about the gods and their deeds, about the great heroes of antiquity and their exploits.
