Ma all’improvviso strane e inquietanti apparizioni cominciano a manifestarsi nei sogni di uno dei capifamiglia, per poi diffondersi in quelli dell’altro patriarca e infine di tutti gli abitanti del pueblo.

A surreal theme park where nothing is as it seems. Jade and her sister Louise are in the Belle Epoque, a twisted and strange version. For fans of Poor Things and Westworld, this novella is delightfully absurd.

Edmund Gunderson—former Terran governor of the colony world of Belzagor—returns eight years after the planet has gained independence, drawn back for reasons he can’t quite explain.

The novel opens with the creation of the world, as God meticulously crafts the earth and sky to match His vision. He shapes it with care, molding it like dough until it satisfies His aesthetic. As He finishes the world by creating all living creatures, He sets it down on the ocean's surface. God feels a deep connection to everything He has created; every sensation, from the touch of hair on skin to a light brush of skin on skin, comes back strong and vibrant. He revels in His creation and smiles at what He has accomplished.

Poesia, romance, filosofia. Este livro tem um pouco de cada. O autor deseja que aceitemos esta história como um conto e não como sugestão de fenômenos espirituais, até mesmo por que ele próprio não é espiritualista. Como o autor muito bem colocou no Prefácio, este livro não tem a pretensão de relatar fatos reais ou percepções de outras existências. Ele preferiu rotular a obra como ficção, a fim de reduzir o atrito com o bom-senso, já que há coisas que não se podem explicar.

Ce douzième roman de Véronique Biefnot tient du récit animiste où, dans un univers allégorique, deux êtres se cherchent, se trouvent, se perdent, tantôt animaux ou humains, tantôt masculins ou féminins. Traversant les lieux et les époques, leurs multiples métamorphoses tracent, au gré de leurs errances, un chemin d'amour et de rédemption. Cette plongée onirique dans l'esprit des différents animaux qu'incarne le protagoniste donne vie à un délicieux conte philosophique où seul l'amour de l'autre, la reconnaissance de deux regards permet à chacun d'exister.
