The Black Work - Mil Folhas Collection 28

A historical novel. A great classic. A masterpiece.

The Abyss is the story of a dissolution: that of the order of values that the Middle Ages came to accept as unquestionable, but which, due to almost imperceptible changes, eventually lost their meaning, opening up to metamorphosis.

A character, Zeno, embodies the desire for change, the will to achieve, in a world troubled by various conflicts, the freedom to think and conceive.

And only a great writer could follow, in such a meticulous and beautiful way, the contours of this personality, along the painful path that leads him to face and accept his own death. Perhaps then, at that decisive moment, one of the greatest possibilities of the Great Alchemical Work, the opus nigrum, the attempt to calcine forms to allow for a new eruption, will occur.
