The World Below

The World Below is close to surrealism, but without yielding to the known clichés or manufacturing facilities, on the contrary, always questioning the limits of structures, whatever they may be, the sadness of the fragmented and wandering man, easily distinguishing underground and subtle connections to the underground world. The story is inspired by real facts of live, starting with the life of a Romanian beggar who lived for years on the trains, while he is meeting a little girl who is helping the old man Constant to reach out for a hidden Romanian monastery. He is given the little girl a precious book of prophecies out of 25 stories about Maya civilization and the love story of the moon princess Cizin and a great warrior, named Tepeu. Their son is born to be a king named Pakal who had the vision of a continent and a water that keeps all the secrets of humans in the depths of a new dimensional world below. Celestine is a strong literary voice, mastering with equal mastery the poetic and narrative mood.
