Infos

We strive to find the truth, but the categorization of fiction and non-fiction we find in the library may be deceiving. In The Pedigree of Power, author Jonah Kijel seeks to explore this divide and bring history to life in a more authentic way. Readers are invited on a journey to uncover the pieces of our history that have been lost to time, with an inquisitive narrator to guide us. This narrator reintroduces us to famous archetypes such as Emperor Nero and Rasputin, who aim to share their true stories. Readers will also learn about the systems that have allowed us to perpetuate stereotypes about historical figures. Dive deep into the intersection of history, psychology, philosophy, and education in an all-expansive introduction to pseudohistory. This book provides the tools to allow the characters of the past to become full paintings-to avoid the caricatures from previous historians. Through astute analysis and an appreciation for the past, Kijel encourages us to ponder the way we view history and the role we play in creating it.
