Leonardo. Tesla. Edison. Einstein. The Wright Brothers. Franklin. The machines they built. The ideas they fought for. The breakthroughs that changed everything.

LEONARDO DA VINCI

LEONARDO DA VINCI

He imagined flight, parachutes and war machines centuries before the world could actually build them.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

ALBERT EINSTEIN

He changed what we thought we knew about time, space, light and the universe itself.

NIKOLA TESLA

NIKOLA TESLA

Wireless power. Giant electrical experiments. Even a mysterious “death ray.” Tesla thought bigger than almost anyone.

THE SILK ROAD

THE SILK ROAD

The trade network that moved wealth, technology, religion and ideas across half the world—and helped civilizations transform each other.

HUMAN ANATOMY

HUMAN ANATOMY

For centuries, doctors were wrong about the human body. Then people started cutting it open—and everything changed.

THE RACE TO SPACE

THE RACE TO SPACE

Massive rockets. Millions of pounds of thrust. Tiny capsules carrying humans farther than anyone had ever gone before.

HOW DID HUMANS BUILD ALL OF THIS?

The Codex shows you who did it, how it worked, and what happened next.

I would have rated it 6 out of 5 — but I'm limited to 5. Absolutely stunning.

It is one of the few books I would like my grandchildren to inherit as an ageless classic.

A clear display of Ukrainian craftsmanship and entrepreneurship that I hope continues to inspire future generations.

THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

IT’S FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO KNOW HOW THINGS WORK.

If you watch history documentaries for fun, fall into three-hour Wikipedia rabbit holes, take things apart just to understand them, or constantly ask “how did they figure that out?” — The Codex was made for you.

HISTORY OBSESSED?

CAN’T STOP LEARNING?

Open to any page. Five minutes later, you know something you didn’t know before. You already spend hours learning from screens. Now own something you can hold, explore and keep.

Before you open The Codex

Is it genuinely informative, or mainly decorative?

Informative first. The illustrations are there to help explain how inventions and mechanisms worked, while concise historical text gives the people, context and consequences behind them. You can study a single spread or follow the full chronology.

Do I need a technical background to enjoy it?

No. The explanations are designed for curious readers, not specialists. If you enjoy history, science, engineering, design or understanding how things work, there is plenty to explore without needing prior technical knowledge.

How large is the book, and what is included?

The book measures 9.8 × 13.8 in / 25 × 35 cm and weighs approximately 8.8 lb / 4 kg. The English edition comes with a collector’s slipcase and presentation box, protected by a separate outer shipping box.

How long does delivery take?

Standard orders normally dispatch within 1–3 business days; peak processing may take up to 7 business days. Standard transit to Zone 1 destinations is estimated at 2–12 business days after dispatch. Other destinations may take longer. Every order ships tracked. Free standard shipping applies to eligible destinations; additional rates are shown at checkout. See our shipping policy for details and exclusions. Preorders follow the schedule stated for that edition.

Are the illustrations really drawn by hand?

Yes. Every final illustration was created by one of 12 Ukrainian artists. The finished book contains 900+ original illustrations.
