I have been reading The Feynman Lectures, and it provides a lot of basic knowledge in physics. I would like to know if there exists a book for chemistry like this too.

About 20 years ago, I have got the German translation of Atoms, Electrons and Change by Peter W. Atkins. This short and simple book was inspired by the lectures on chemistry given by Michael Faraday (such as The Chemical History of a Candle).
