The idea traveling to a other demension and reading something that is dramatically different there your dimensions history only to later find out, no, that guy was just a moron, and now you look like one too, is very funny to me.
I’m imagining our intrepid hero coming off a bender and to the conclusion that they’re in a different dimension. In their efforts to educate themselves about their new world they unwittingly fall fully for conspiracy YouTube videos; what a magical and strange world they’ve found themselves in.
Hot take, but the propagandized version would likely be better, since your goal is to find out the present day conditions rather than actual history. What a government wants its citizens to think (and more importantly, how it expects them to behave) is probably more important than finding out actual details of history that early in your stay.
you’d probably have to find several by different tyoes of people, to make sure you aren’t reading a biased account :p

Exactly, depending on the world/kingdom/government you’d find yourself in, the local history books may be propaganda.

Even so, you may not have the real truth, but you’ll know what you need to navigate the society you are currently in.
Perhaps even written by Victoria.
If your only goal is to find out the current culture of the place you’re currently in, the biased one would likely be better.
