€12,00
The message of this extraordinary book is: Walls are everywhere. In our minds and around us. They separate us. Yet we do not need walls, but each other. 'The Wall' tells the story of a king who, while descending from his throne, notices that his kingdom, once populated only by the Blues, is now colorful. He does not like this and decides to separate his people from the 'strangers' by having them expelled and building a wall. However, he quickly realizes that his wishes can only be fulfilled with the help of the other colors. So, the king orders the wall to be torn down again. Always and to this day, people have built walls, erected barriers, and drawn borders. In this way, nations and ethnic groups, cultures and religions have been separated from one another. The history of civilization, however, has taught us that progress and development have almost always only taken place when ideas, knowledge, and ways of life were creatively exchanged.
