Why the world is not peaceful and what happens when strangers meet. What occurred when people from different societies came together – did they always fight, or did they find ways to coexist peacefully? How did they manage to agree on common values, ideals, and rules? Bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari addresses these pressing questions in his new book, which also resonates with young people seeking answers: why there are so many wars and how strangers can live together peacefully. He draws a connection from ancient Rome to the Middle Ages, from Carthage to Mongolia, vividly and engagingly recounting the coexistence of people from diverse backgrounds, wars, and the encounters of different religions.
