M. Bloch's research is dedicated to the widespread belief in France and England during the Middle Ages and Modern Times that the touch of the royal hand can cure a patient suffering from scrofula. This issue may seem specific, but at the same time, Bloch provides answers to fundamental questions: the origins of monarchical power, the emotions connecting the monarch to his subjects, the birth and death of beliefs common in large human communities, the mentality of the people, and how it evolves. "The Royal Touch" is one of those books that gave rise to the "New Historical Science" in France, which revolutionized humanitarian knowledge in the 20th century. For students of philosophy, political science, history, cultural studies, universities, and all those interested in European history. 2nd edition.
