Who are the kings? True and instructive stories

We have all read fairy tales about kings and queens, princes and princesses, dragons and castles. And all of this is true! They really existed! Well, except for the dragons — they didn't exist. But many books have been written about them. So why write another one? At least to understand why kings and queens interest us so much. Where did they come from and how to recognize one when you see one? What can kings do and what are they afraid of? Who is more powerful — kings or queens? And what is more important — the king or the kingdom? To be frank, thinking about kings is very fascinating, especially together with the authors of this book, anthropologist David Graeber and artist Nika Dubrovskaya.
