Beautifull! Is there similar book on physics?

I'd say the Feynman Lectures of Physics [1] covers a broad base with some topics in great detail too.

No.
Feynman Lectures, to be properly understood requires one to be at least an advanced undergrad.
Most people just use it as home decor and many use it like a novel.
To properly appreciate the material, you need training in Physics. Otherwise you will be getting much less.

Fair enough -- to appreciate it really, one needs a motivated undergrad. But, it's similar in pedagogical style. It's not run of the mill concepts, but rather like a conversation that builds up with strong hints to form intuition.

Susskind's series does a pretty decent job walking the reader through topics in (theoretical) physics. At a somewhat more advanced level, you can try Schwichtenberg's No-Nonsense books. I also enjoyed Stevens' The Six Core Theories of Modern Physics.
