About this listen

 The story that the reader is going to read belongs to a new literary fashion, by the authors called an “open reality book”, which differs from the traditional reality book (that we could define a “closed reality book”), for, whereas this last genre consists in a story in which the authors are involved in first person but the novel ends up with the narration, here the unwinding of the plot, which is in part true and only in a small part fantastic, is not ended, as some real facts are still missing. The saga, in fact, will be concluded only apparently (in the second volume), with three different endings by choice of the reader, but actually the adventure will continue, and only one reader, among many, will be able to close the narration, letting know to all the others how the story has ended. This “real” part of the tale, which will be the follow-up of one among the various endings proposed, cannot be written until it has not really happened, but in the end it will become itself a part of the tale already begun, with the first two volumes. In other words, the final act has not been and cannot be written yet, but any one who is willing to play will potentially finish it. The game consists in finding twenty-two cues that the authors have partly hidden in both books, and partly in different places of Italy and abroad. Each cue poses an enigma to be unravelled, and to do this one needs to be in possession of the first and second book (hence also the continuation of the present volume), and study the arguments correlated. In the very end the players could find a true treasure (which is existing, though currently of immaterial value, as the authors have really hidden it) that will allow the reader to become the true protagonist of the story. The book in itself can be read as an ordinary novel, or one can look for the hidden messages, or choose the “grand finale”, among those prospected, or skip over some chapters, or else read them in a different version in appendix. In short, this is a dynamic novel that allows the reader to really live the adventure without remaining a mere passive spectator. Of course, this is not the only novelty of these works (we are referring to this book and its follow-up). There are some who would rarely read a novel and others vice versa hardly turn over the pages of an essay and, in an epoch as prosaic as ours, almost no one ever more a collection of poems. Aim of this tale is to meet the different tastes of the reading public, and to reach this goal one has tried to reunite the three literary genres (motive for which the work could be defined a “poetical rosaggio”*), exploiting a unique leading thread that is the narration of a story really happened, but by now already forgotten. The authors, particularly through numerous digressions, propose to themselves to induce the readers to ask themselves questions and try to decode the numerous ciphered messages contained in this work. The story is so structured that it can be read multilevel, allowing the readers, for example, to choose whether to read Chapter Five, so as it is presented, or choose the integral version added in Appendix I, or even to skip it altogether without losing the thread of the tale. The first chapters of the work can be considered, de facto, an essay for, through the dialogues of the personages there are illustrated the particulars of the scientific hypothesis on the real possibilities of travelling in the time, as well as the symbolical significances of the “Menorah”. These chapters have been realized for discouraging the reading to whom has no spiritual interest, nevertheless, if the reader succeeds in surmounting the threshold of Chapter Five, he will be rewarded for his perseverance, and the road will then be all in sloping, and who knows that at the end of it he will find, indeed, the treasure he was looking for.
