This is an automatically translated description
"Fascinating Geometry" by Yaakov Perelman is one of the most fascinating books about geometry. In it, this science, in the words of the author himself, "breaks away from the blackboard", with which it was closely associated in the minds of the average reader, and is taken out into free space - into the forest, field, river, road, and later - into distant seas and the vast depths of space. Often these stories are illustrated with excerpts from the works of the classics of literature and the sayings of great scientists. After reading the book, the reader will know immeasurably more about the application of geometry than can be learned from dozens of "school" textbooks and manuals. The book has been translated into many languages. It is being published in Ukrainian for the first time. The publication will be of interest not only to those who already love and study mathematics, but also to everyone who would like to have a true understanding of it, in particular, to know its true place in our lives.
