Moral behavior, moral views and decisions that normalize and sanction the life of each era are the most characteristic and vivid expressions of the spirit of this era. The essence of each historical period, each people and each class is reflected in them most clearly. Since the history of morality represents the most important part of the history of mankind, the wealth of documents testifying to it in each country is inexhaustible. In addition, in them we have the most majestic and brilliant, the most sophisticated and ugly, the most ridiculous and trivial that the human spirit has ever imagined and created. They equally reveal his wildest thoughts, his most inspired moods and saddest misconceptions. For the widest range of readers.
