Fantastic realities exist in invisible worlds. "The Miraculous Flight" by Giovanna Giordano is one of those works that make us feel lucky upon discovering them. The 1930s, war in Africa. Mother Earth takes on the mantle of a legend and tells the story of the journey of Giulio, a Sicilian pilot sent to Abyssinia on a secret mission. In the shadow of exploitative and violent colonial dictates, he becomes an air courier who crosses the sky on iron wings, carrying with him words of war and peace, packages, sweets and love letters. The primordial landscapes of "The Miraculous Flight" illustrate the power of nature and the nothingness of man in comparison to it. Against a kaleidoscope of colors and figures, a world is revealed in which animals are smarter than man, slaves are freer than their masters and boys serve as guides for adults. Each character holds their own life lesson, and so the heavenly postman, who carries the news and steps into the prophet's shoes, also becomes a disciple. Like him, readers also gain a continuing life lesson: how it is better to live, to embrace death, and to see war and peace as two sides of the same coin. "The Wonderful Flight" is the first work translated into Hebrew by one of our favorite authors in Nine Souls - Giovanna Giordano, an amazing prose artist and a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
