Divided Kingdom

An imaginary experiment in the organization of government and society on the premise of segregating the people by character types formed by the four humours from the ancient Greeks: Choleric given by yellow bile (aggressive, energetic), Melancholic given by black bile (morbid, introspective), Phlegmatic given by phlegm (passive, sluggish), Sanguine given by blood (optimistic, good-humoured). By following the adventures of one person within this new system the author presents us with a rich and intriguing narrative.
