Badulina is a tiny kingdom somewhere in Europe with 16,204 residents (as of last Friday), which conducts itself without laws, without politics, without marriage and without wars. Every resident of Badulina can be the next king. And everyone is brought up on the belief that there are only two ways to live in this world: as a king or as a victim. The book ‘Badulina’ recounts the journey taken together by the author Gabi Nitzan and the royal couple, the King and Queen of Badulina – a journey that reflects not only the author’s life, but that of hundreds of thousands of readers. Nitzan accompanied the couple for three months, but the journey together quickly loses the impression of objective journalism: Nitzan falls in love with the Queen and becomes devoted to the enchanting King, who tells him a few things about hunting dragons, addiction to war and death, love devoid of possessiveness, eating with your hands and the national moto of Badulina – “Better be well and happy than sick and miserable.” which practically guarantees that this story will not end in tears. "Badulina has inspired me to live like a queen and love the world (and chocolate) as it is. It's one of those rare stories that are not only fun to read but give you a great deal to think about afterwards. The moral of this book is so strong and so powerful, and yet so simple that you wonder how come you and everybody else you know don't always act like the characters in the book. Highly recommended for anyone of all ages, this book is a game changer and it could wonderfully change your life forever". (Aura
