Synopsis:
When the Great Divide occurred, an ancient
world was destroyed in a massive explosion, and its inhabitants'
souls were scattered across a thousand other worlds. They coexist
oblivious of their origin. Anybody can be this way if their memory
has been gone, but in order to gain knowledge, you must first go
back to your original state. It can seem impossible, but there is a
path to overcome fear and make the quality and imaginative leap
necessary to be prepared to escape the convoluted rule-filled
existence. In order to create a beautiful fairy tale, David and
Laura will travel that route. Before departing they will search for
all the old inhabitants to collect them in the Wood of Plane, a
location to call House that is shrouded in an impenetrable shroud of
secrecy.
People have been seeking a deeper
understanding of life's purpose since the dawn of mankind. The
latest contribution to this topic of ongoing quest for
self-discovery is Domenico Corna's "Wood of Plane." Fairy tales are
a fantastic method to imagine an other world where we may examine
the systems in our own. The book offers a compelling narrative with
the original theme of man's search for purpose in life. The author
questions people's yearning for self-knowledge in an alternate
universe creating a lonely spiritual environment that promises
peace. The author imagines lost souls from an ancient planet and
conjures up a kingdom of fairy tales where they congregate to revive
their faded memories. Alternative reality is a great tool to escape
from earthly norms. I adore the author's skillful storytelling
technique and stunning use of lyrical language in developing the
plot. Astonishing world building and a philosophical viewpoint that
has been created in such a thorough manner attract attention.
Bringing parallel universes together while posing difficult topics
requires a lot of work. In order to compose this lovely tale,
Domenico uses magnificent prosaic language. In sketching the
characters, the author displays incredible talent. Overall, Wood of
Plane by Domenico Corna is a lovely tale that should be read by
everyone.
