In this thought-provoking audiobook, acclaimed historian Patrick Boucheron examines the intricate relationship between governing and storytelling from the Middle Ages to the contemporary "post-truth" era. Adapted from his insightful lectures on "political fictions" following Donald Trump's election, Boucheron delves into how historical narratives shape political realities, drawing on influential works from figures like Machiavelli, Hobbes, Orwell, and Schmitt. Through engaging essays, he highlights the lessons history offers for understanding and navigating today's complex political landscape.
