Thule

Thule

el sueño del norte

Beni, Elisa

In 1937 it is already possible to say that a world conflict is inevitable. Armand Rolzou de Saint-Gelais, a diplomat in the League of Nations, understands this and refuses to participate in the inevitable carnage. Together with his Spanish wife, Constanza, he decides to start a new life on a strange island, missing from maritime charts, in the North Atlantic. There he will begin his bid for peace in his mansion, which they will call Thule, like the mythical island of Pytheas, the last land in the north. An absolutely literary journey as it is delivered to the imagination. An adventure novel, on an imaginary island, which nevertheless coexists with the harshest attacks in history in the 20th century. A new world, recreated in its smallest details, in which a saga attached to reality begins. Can men remove their destiny from that of their rulers? Is it possible to escape history or does it inexorably catch up with you? Full fiction is the territory to ask ourselves about the real nature of the freedom of the individual against the State. As it always was before becoming a fresco of each individual's problem. A luminous experience in which men are no longer competitors but rather cooperators in a nature they respect. A novel in which crimes or hate or trauma or pain are not necessary to access the perfectly human experience of surviving and living together in a primeval nature.
