The Celtic legend of Jack O' Lantern and the origins of Halloween rewritten in a positive way: no Monsters, Ghosts, Witches, Werewolves ... just a man and his life's journey, his thoughts and his decisions. A little motivational and positive thinking novelette.


★★★ Synopsis ★★★


According to an ancient Celtic legend it is said that on the night of Samhain (The Celtic New Year's Eve), a night that is outside the cycle of time because it belongs neither to the Old Year that has just ended nor the New Year that has not yet begun, it may be possible to discern, in the mists that separate the world of the living from that of the spirits, a man who wanders in search of the road to Paradise. He holds his lantern in a hollowed out pumpkin, and inside it there would be a burning firebrand from the embers of hell.


That man is Jack!

Jack O' Lantern.


But who was Jack?

The only ordinary man who has a feast day dedicated to him that by now is celebrated the world over!


Why do we celebrate him on Halloween night?


Hardly anyone knows his story; "To hell with them!" Jack would say.

Il racconto delle origini di Halloween, la leggenda celtica di Jack O' Lantern riscritta in modo positivo: niente mostri, spiriti, streghe, lupi mannari... solo un uomo e il suo percorso di vita, i suoi pensieri e le sue decisioni. Un breve romanzo motivazionale e dal pensiero positivo.


★★★ Sinossi ★★★


Secondo un'antica leggenda celtica si racconta che durante la notte di Samhain (il capodanno celtico), posta al di fuori del ciclo del tempo, perché non appartenente né all'anno passato appena trascorso, né all'anno nuovo ancora da iniziare, si possa scorgere fra le nebbie che separano il mondo dei vivi da quello degli spiriti, un uomo che vaga alla ricerca della strada del paradiso, con la sua lanterna ricavata da una zucca e al cui interno ci sarebbe un tizzone ardente delle braci dell'inferno.


Quell'uomo è Jack!

Jack O' Lantern.


Ma chi era Jack?

L'unico uomo comune a cui è dedicata una festività che si celebra ormai in tutto il mondo!


Perché durante la notte di Halloween lo festeggiamo?


Quasi nessuno conosce la sua storia, "dannati loro!", direbbe Jack
