NOVEL
Last updated - August 09, 2023
The Toward Hemelslinn NFT collection is based on a space opera novel by the italian novelist Maurizio Feruglio.
Regarding the work, the same author wrote:
I began writing Toward Hemelslinn with the intention of writing a work on the psychological implications of a crew adrift in space. But, from the very first pages, the characters had taken over, dragging the story in a different direction. The narrative has evolved; Toward Hemelslinn it then turned into a science fiction novel, a space opera, or space epic. The sci-fi setting, however, is only the backdrop for an adventure: the story of the Delphís crew, who meet love and friendship on their travels.
This is an abstract of the work:
In the distant future, humanity spread over millions of planets under the aegis of Galaxias. Interplanetary travel is the prerogative of a small elite of galactic corporations that monopolize the mineral resources necessary for interstellar navigation. Humanity, relegated to colonized planets, lives in a period of obscurantism. The danger of despotic domination and the restrictions of freedom is ever more palpable.
To thwart the impending coup, the Delphís crew plans a revolution that will free humanity from the yoke of oppressors. A peaceful revolution that will allow space travel on a large scale, giving humanity the opportunity to express its full potential in the arts, sciences and exploration of the galaxias.
In the middle of the mission, the Delphís crew finds themselves near an unknown planet. The only hope of surviving is to land there. They will get to know an ancient culture; the key to the past, present and future.
A wide-ranging space work. A love beyond time. An exciting adventure with food for thought on freedom, friendship and diversity.
