I started writing this book two days after my father died. The first few lines are the most painful text I've ever had to write.
The rest is a tribute to the most important man in my life: my father Angelo.

​

The protagonist, whose name is never spoken for the duration of the story, heartbroken by the death of his father, believes he is hallucinating when he begins to see his image.
Being an unbeliever he refuses to understand the words of the Angel (in name and in fact) who announces that he has been sent by God to give him the gift of Faith.
The Angel then takes him where he could never have gone before his death.
Thus begins the journey to a Paradise made in the image and likeness of the protagonist's unconscious. During his wanderings with his father who became a new celestial Angel, he will sail on extraordinary interstellar spaceships, he will descend into the depths of the abyss to know Atlantis, he will visit medieval villages and remote rocks in the middle of the ocean.
He will have a particular vision of the Hereafter where each soul is able to generate, alone or in collaboration with others, infinite Personal Universes and will have to reflect on the main existential themes of life. He will know and be tempted by the beautiful and haughty Satan, from whom he will be saved several times by Archangels and Principalities.
The journey will even become adventurous when the Angel will suspect that the protagonist's passing is no longer only temporary, but that perhaps it has become definitive. To find out, the two will have to pass spiritual and intellectual tests, looking for the places where the higher celestial hierarchies reside. They will then discover that it was another deception hatched by Satan to ensnare the protagonist.
In the end he will be able to access the Common Place, a kind of immense neuronal network, where all souls reside in adoration of the Creator and after having finally known himself and having witnessed his own investiture (which takes verbatim passages from the Apocalypse of John), will be able to see and enjoy the Face of God.
The separation from the Angel (The second death) concludes the journey in an intense and painful way.
