Viac o knihe

Exploring an obscure region of Italy, the book delves into the intersection of literature, spirituality, and culture. It examines themes such as the origins of literature in popular belief and the melding of pagan traditions with Christianity. Through references to goddess worship, necromancy, and historical figures like Pontius Pilate and Benevenuto Cellini, it weaves a narrative rich in connections to works like Goethe's "Faust" and Wagner's "Tannhauser," all set against a backdrop of unique geological wonders and enchanting landscapes.
