An excelent classical book for fast and solid study of relativity theory

The Classical Theory of Fields, the second volume of the famous Landau and Lifshitz Course of Theoretical Physics, provides a fast and solid way to study the special and general relativity, as well as electrodynamics. The reader will find several original discussions that are not usually covered in other books. The examples are quite interesting and they cover problems that were -- or could be -- the subject of a good publication at the time of development of general relativity or even in the current days.
