ABOUT OSSIDEA
Ossidea is a metaphor for the journey and adventure, the desire for a different, fantastic world that lives in every young person and that children defend, in their own way, first from adults and then from themselves, trying to put off wading the fordthat will take them far from the most genuine and joyouspart of life, forever.
AN ECOLOGICAL MESSAGE A MARVELLOUS AND FABULOUS HYMN TO NATURE
A FANTASTIC JOURNEY THROUGH AN UNKNOWN WORLD
THE WORLD
Ossidea is a fantasy whose absolute protagonist is Nature itself. Those who wish to read Ossidea will find in its pages an ecological message, the rediscovery of an intact world, immune to man’s destructive ambition.
A NEW-GENERATION FANTASY A COMPLEX WEB OF WORLDS
CREATURES AND IMAGINARY LANGUAGES
THE CHARACTERS
In the course of his adventures, the protagonist encounters some very different characters, but his curiosity drives him on.David’s capacity to overcome the barriers of diversity, to learn new languages and forge friendships with creatures so different from him, conveys a positive message and teaches young people that diversity is, first of all, an opportunity.
THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF A YOUNG BOY’S IMAGINATION A UNIVERSE WITH A WEALTH OF MAGIC AND ADVENTURE
MIRACULOUSLY SUSPENDED BETWEEN FANTASY AND REALITY
BEHIND THE SCENE
The project began in 2008. The author's idea is to reconcilethe child's original passion for nature with the rigour of the scientist; his fantastic worlds emerge from the pages as vivid and real. Thus was born the Land of Arcon, the realm of elves and giants, of the gurblù and the kahuri, an imaginary place, but basically one not to different from the preindustrial world.
