    About this ebook

    "A Separate Reality "is a novella or short story, which I value highly. It is about a woman who suffers from mood disorders, depression or existential emptiness typical in today's society. She experiences periods of so-called normality to periods of depression more or less accentuated, in which everything is paralyzed and loses importance. Tired of this, she makes a decision, perhaps the only decision taken consciously or impulsively, but definitely from within her soul, to leave everything and go away for a while, not even she knows where. She will come to terms with herself, face to face with herself, dive into her own unconscious, in a separate reality, in a parallel dimension, with little importance. This woman will be helped by herself ... and a black cat ... and ... with the passing events in her life ... so many things will change. Until one day, a ray of sunlight takes her away.

      If you came to Sam Neill’s memoir without knowing the first thing about it, chapter one would hold a terrible shock. It begins amusingly enough: a lovely anecdote about his daughter Elena being asked at school when she was little about what her dad d

      We are not meant to come together, not any more than sun and moon were meant to come together, or sea and land. We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other's opposite and complement.

      Introduction

      By Lilli Pati

      ––––––––

      The author has been able to describe delicately the malaise that often is contained in each of us. Faith's character needs to leave the nest to confront the insecurities that have always influenced her personality, preventing her from living a full life. Only the constant love of her grandfather and brother allow her to make a choice and rediscover the dormant Faith who cannot emerge. Through the character's feelings our soul is understood.

      By Anna Maria Risi

      A Separate Reality is the mirror of what we often see around us, surrounded by devastating shallowness. Selene Rossi talks through the protagonist, with the voice of every person suffering from mood disorders, with a light and smooth pen that leads us magically into a female introspective layer. A modern novel adhering to the demands of our time, written, conceived and designed to support, to expand and shed light on our fears and on lost balance. Kudos to the author for this beautiful devoted text!

      Prologue

      From an early age I proved to be a lonely child, but for the more or less long periods I have also been an outgoing child, I made friends at school, I played with the other kids, growing up I started to go out with my peers, but there were always other times, moments when all of this bothered me, sometimes I preferred to be alone, read, cuddle with my dog and my cat, My Cat so to speak, because it was he who adopted me, showing up in my garden as if he was the owner. Yes them... my closest loves, you can feel the purity, innocence and unconditional love of these creatures. But these are the times I am most sad, too reflexive, obsessed with the meaning of life, in these moments I am not always sad, maybe the opposite... thoughtful, reading allows me to create my own opinions but an answer never arrives and this, in the end, leads to melancholy. I live two realities, slipping from serenity, from illusion to melancholy, from my passions, emotions, desires to that evil darkness that prevents me to just survive.
