Abstract: We present a new look at description of real finite-dimensional Lie algebras. The basic element turns out to be a pair (F,v) consisting of a linear mapping FinEnd(V) and its eigenvector v. This pair allows to build a Lie bracket on a dual space to a linear space V. This algebra is solvable. In particular, when F is nilpotent, the Lie algebra is also nilpotent. We show that these solvable algebras are the basic bricks of the construction of all other Lie algebras. %Which allows, having a collection of pairs (Fi,vi), i=1,dots,n, to construct any Lie algebra. Using relations between the Lie algebra, the Lie--Poisson structure and the Nambu bracket, we show that the algebra invariants (Casimir functions) are solutions of an equation which has a geometric sense. Several examples illustrate the importance of these constructions.
