Today, the art of historical fencing is experiencing a remarkable revival. Thousands of people in both East and West are turning to the wisdom of the past, finding in it nourishment for the mind, health for the body, and training for the spirit.
And more than four centuries ago, an English gentleman named George Silver took up his pen in the hopes of benefiting his fellow citizens. Thus came "The Paradoxes of Defence," initially written as a pamphlet and later transformed into a veritable fencing textbook. To this day, Silver's works remain a unique source on fencing with cut-and-thrust weapons, which have served men faithfully both in war and in civilian life.
This comprehensive edition of Silver's texts, complete with illustrations, commentary, and additional information, is appearing in Russian for the first time.
