SINUS IRIDUM

by Marianthi Devaki

A group of famous artists and scientists, as well as eminent businessmen, are the first people to go on a voyage to the Moon, announced by NASA for quite a few years. At long last, the exact date of the voyage is decided on. Some of them meet on a Greek island, guests of a Greek shipowner. There, Michael, an actor and the main character of the book, meets Liza again, a porn star, with whom his first meeting in the past ended in a completely disastrous sexual encounter, leaving them both awkward, disillusioned, and disdainful. Yet, it is summertime, and they are in the middle of the sea and the sun that, with a sense of poetic romanticism, arousing forgotten wishes, will illumine and flare up aspects of an irrepressible attraction meant to end in a tempestuous love affair. Of course Michael while preparing for his trip to the moon .
A journey to the moon may be distant and dangerous, it may go beyond imagination and dream, and maybe it will turn out to be Michael’s last trip. But Earth too hides so much in its bosom, threats behind great loves, and agony behind ineffable passions. All this against a backdrop of the light of the Greek islands that knows how to disembody existence, consigning it to fiery love. However, there is the darkness of the Universe that seems to know the soul very well, as well as how to lead the Mind to the brink of irrationality through philosophical and parapsychological implications.
