What are the best books for a beginner java programmer?

Question

Java

Good day dear gentlemen! So I decided to start learning Java for myself. I ask you to advise which books are better to read, only I will ask you to advise books that can really help in studying (preferably in Russian). Now I read "Philosophy of Java". Also, if anyone knows where you can download a collection of tasks. Please do not write "google for help", we all already know how much garbage there is, and since I recently started studying, I don't know where the best on this topic is! Thank you!

Answer 1

Java. The Complete Guide (Schildt)
Slightly scattered material, but still: Java. Library of a professional (Horstmann)
Well, algorithms, where without them.
