Category: The Fables of Power

The Fables of Power – Old grudges, new costumes, timeless quarrels. A satirical series where nations become eccentric relatives, leaders turn into fairy-tale figures, and politics plays out as family drama. These fables are not predictions but parodies โ€” reminders that behind the speeches, treaties, and quarrels, power often behaves like the oldest story of all: a family that cannot stop arguing.

Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade โ€” on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.
