Journey through time and philosophy in "The Ascent of the Philosopher-King: From Babylon to Harmony," a captivating work of fiction that transports readers from the ancient city of Babylon to a world of wisdom, enlightenment, and the pursuit of a harmonious society.
In a distant era of a powerful ruler, we follow the story of an ordinary man who rises from poverty to unimaginable wealth, ultimately becoming the father of a revolutionary financial system.
