Passage of Amber Book Description: How does a defective coin travel all over Rome, passing from hand to hand, from purse to purse? How does it connect story to story, road to traveler, dream to vision, seven people to a virtuous dog? Why is the messenger who returns to the cave of shadows stoned every time? The Amber Passage, In the 300s AD, Emperor Diocletian is looking for answers to these questions in Rome. He invites his readers to the Forum, the Colosseum, the Senate, the Tiber River, the Temple of Healing, the freedoms that were later lost or never acquired, oratory, manuscripts, sarcophagi, healing medicines. It invites you to a long journey among grasses, wolves, birds, mountains, the most terrible fights, toga picta and spiny sea snails. With its clear but deep language, the liveliness of its characters, the grippingness of its events, the richness of its periodic details, the always validity of its painful issues, it is a special experience of history. It is an epic masterpiece that has something to say about universal human conditions, even though it has been removed from one point. The result of eight years of effort. “We are talking to you as if we were dead and remembering our days in this world. It's as if our life in this world is over and someone pats us on the shoulder so that we can look back at all our troubles. It's like saying, "It's over, it's over." (From the Promotional Bulletin)
