Fictional and non-fictional politics
To better understand what is happening in the world our local Bookdragon naturally turned to books. SandyJ will share her findings with you in the new episode of Engineered Unicorns.
A classic and considered one oft he best non-fiction books of the 20th century Karl R. Poppers „The Open Society and its enemies“ compares the ideas of three known philosophers and their impact on our societies. The fictional politics you can find in Katherine Addisons „The Goblin Emperor“. How does one deal with the pressures and limitations of power and social status?
New Fantasy books are available in the Libby App at Karlsruhe Library System and at the American Library in Karlsruhe. And all of this episodes recommendations are available at Karlsruhes libraries.
