Kde Končí Všechny Sny
by Pierluigi Di Cosimo Danica BartošováKrátce o knize:Kde končí všechny sny a kde začíná život? Nebo kde končí život a začínají sny?To jsou otázky, se kterými se setkáme, když budeme sledovat dobrodružství Petra a Pamely. Na řádcích tohoto příběhu je budeme doprovázet na fantastické cestě na místo i při návratu z něj zpět, místo, které si každý z nás vytvořil ve své vlastní mysli, díky své vlastní víře, nebo díky vlastnímu přesvědčení, že nic nekončí navždy. Když překonáme naše obavy, pak se setkáme s našimi sny, o které budeme muset pečovat jako o malé děti. A spolu se dvěma hrdiny příběhu se budeme muset o ně postarat, aby se jim nic zlého nestalo, vychovávat je a bojovat za ně, snažit se je realizovat s veškerou energií, kterou nám samotné sny předávají. To je naše podstata bytí. Přestat věřit v tyto sny nebo je nenásledovat, by nás uvedlo do bolestí a zanechalo nás s hrstkou prachu v ruce. A právě v tomto okamžiku, všechno a my, ve skutečnosti končíme, to je okamžik, ve kterém končí život. Budou umět Petr s Pamelou bojovat proti nečemu skutečnému ale neurčitému? Budou umět nalézt tuto nitku, která sjednotí jejich sny, aby se návratili zpátky do života a žili jejich sny?
