Perpetual Peace (Excerpts)

The title of the tale irresistibly conjures up Immanuel Kant’s “Perpetual Peace”, a short essay published in 1785, yet strikingly modern, in which the Prussian philosopher explains his vision on what needs to be done in order to secure long-lasting peace.
Head of states sincerely committed to their fellow compatriots’ well-being ought to seek their inspiration in the principles advocated in this relatively unknown book.
The tale is written in a style that claims to be understandable while steering clear from “baby language”. However, some words may not belong to the vocabulary of the youngest ones and may require the use of a dictionary or the help of older siblings/friends.
It is definitely an entertaining book which gives much food for thought for children and grown-ups alike, an intelligent gift at a most affordable cost.
Book One describes the ideal life enjoyed by the inhabitants of the island of Citadel under the governance of a wise Queen who had banned violence from her kingdom. The tone is set right from the first paragraphs of the Prologue, which claims that kings suffer from the illnesses of their people more than from their own illnesses. Anyone familiar with Asia knows that this was the famous motto of equally famous King Jayavarman VII.
The book is available on Amazon.
