    The Glass Atlas is the story of an archivist who travels to Paris in search of a forgotten modernist writer and finds himself entangled with a circle of young scholars. What begins as literary study soon becomes obsession, as cryptic manuscripts, shifting alliances, and a death that blurs into myth draw them deeper into a labyrinth where truth and fiction are no longer distinguishable.

    Transcending the boundaries of the past, present and future. Maturing from a credulous scholar to a proficient professor. Evolving from a mere human to a benevolent deity. Behold the story of the young Moor who was immaculately conceived to be the ambassador of the Gods, the diplomat of the Divine Council, and the restorer of the balance. The year is 2050. Due to the devastating effects of the Great Global Cataclysm and the airborne plague pandemic. The entire world has descended into a post-apocalyptic state of desolate underdeveloped wastelands, unable to preserve human, plant or animal life. What is left of the human population is coerced into a highly advanced dome-shaped society to "ensure a more suitable living condition and the safety of all humankind". Unfortunately, the remaining members of humanity would soon realize that they had been lured into an autocratic totalitarian hellscape in which they cannot easily escape.

    In a fractured multiverse where creation is power and knowledge is a dangerous force, Demiurges follows Vinyah, a young "dimensionaut" whose journey spans simulated worlds, ancient empires, and collapsing realities. Born under violent stars and raised amidst hidden knowledge, Vinyah is marked by destiny: a potential demiurge-one who can shape entire universes. As he is drawn into a secretive group of reality-bending beings led by the enigmatic Klaus, Vinyah confronts ancient metaphysical truths, advanced scientific paradoxes, and monstrous beings from beyond. From the brutal streets of the Piroh Empire to virtual dimensions shaped by thought alone, the story dives deep into philosophical and ontological questions: What is real? Who has the right to create or destroy a world? And can the mind survive such cosmic responsibility? Demiurges is a multi-layered speculative epic where Plato meets posthumanism, where cosmic horror bleeds into lyrical science fiction, and where each shift in dimension peels back another layer of reality itself. Reality is built. Reality can be rewritten. But only a few are chosen to hold the pen.

    America, home of the Occult freedom, slavery masters, and Fathers of greed seems to be the story everyone has forgotten. Corpus Republica is a smart, mind-bending thrill ride through the secret history of the United States. Follow a young Benjamin Franklin as he stumbles upon a hidden book that pulls him into a world of hidden societies, mystical science, coded letters, and dangerous passions that shaped the soul of a nation. Alongside rebels like Thomas Paine and the ever-enigmatic Jefferson, Franklin navigates a revolution not just of politics, but of power, prophecy, occult and desire. Based on real events-but twisted through the lens of forgotten truths-this book dares you to question what's real, what's imagined, and what was never meant to be uncovered. Witty, wild, and wickedly intelligent-Corpus Republica isn't just a book. It's a revelation.

    On a hill lives a hermit who illegally occupies an ancient observatory: from up there he awaits the literal fulfillment of the Apocalypse of John. In the last twenty years he has transformed his hermitage into a religious temple, adorning its walls with mosaics, stuccoes and paintings with a symbolic and esoteric appeal. Three boys, moved by fearless curiosity, decide to walk towards the top of the mountain: Lorenzo is the skeptical and rational part of the trio, as well as an atheist and avowedly anti-theist. With a provocative air, he often enjoys teasing Alberto, his childhood friend and proudly Catholic. Chiara, a cheerful and adventurous girl, is the fun element of the group. When they consume the encounter with the mysterious man, terrifying events begin to punctuate the adventure: the woods and the hamlet at the foot of the promontory will offer them a disturbing and visionary journey, but in the end it will be reality that will overcome all imagination. The reader is introduced to a classic adventure for children, with horror veins, which gradually takes shape in a disturbing dream journey to the edge of reality, venting the curiosity and tension accumulated in a science fiction-existential watershed. Is there a cosmic determinism or is it all governed by chance? Does God exist or is he an invention to make up for human fears? Is faith just an illusion for those who believe or have different sensitivities and approaches to the sense of mystery? Not a few philosophical questions raised will be facing in this tale, whose central focus remains the big issue on the dichotomy Reason and Faith.
