The stories of this collection have a common theme: facts are an illusion behind which stands the reality of our emotions.
Emotions shape our perception of facts and give us access to parallel dimensions in which facts are bent and shaped by new rules.
Inside these pages we contemplate a deal with the Devil, technological doorways to experience and time, the thoughts of a tramcar on the journey of a lifetime, travels beyond life, love and death, what really happened when the Luftwaffe gatecrashed the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and much more.
These stories intertwine reality and fantasy, history and legend, imaginary atmosphere and scientific hypothesis, allowing multiple levels of meaning through myth, supernatural, allegory, metaphor, symbolism and the surreal. The stories in this book are realistic and credible because they are factual and precise and make plausible and satisfactory what is incredible and questionable.
