Sinossi

Who is the siren today? Can the actual materialistic world contemplate this legendary figure? We believe so! Like all things in the world and nature, mermaids (and most mythological figures) do not disappear, they simply adapt. Open your eyes! The essence of a mermaid is not in the finned tail, in its scales but in its silence or in its song, in its contemplation, in its gaze, in its expectation, in its promise. Out of the water, the mermaid is free to be herself, she chooses to abandon her tail and face the world at a steady pace. With this project we have found, pursued, flattered and immortalized them in their current appearance: we wanted to document their existence, we believe in them... and we have lovingly fallen prey to them.

The publisher

La sirena, oggi, chi è? Può il mondo materialista attuale contemplare questa figura leggendaria? Noi pensiamo di si! Come tutte le cose del mondo e della natura, anche le sirene (e la maggior parte delle figure mitologiche) non scompaiono, ma semplicemente si adattano. Aprite gli occhi! L’essenza di una sirena non è nella coda pinnata, nelle sue squame, ma nel suo silenzio o nel suo canto, nel suo contemplare, nel suo sguardo, nella sua attesa, nella sua promessa. Fuori dall’acqua la sirena è libera di essere se stessa, sceglie di lasciare la coda e di affrontare il mondo a passi decisi. Con questo progetto le abbiamo scovate, inseguite, lusingate e immortalate nelle loro attuali sembianze: volevamo documentarne l’esistenza, noi ci crediamo… e ne siamo caduti amorevolmente prede.

    Jurassic Park is a 1993 science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Michael Crichton’s novel. The story follows a group of experts and visitors who are invited to a futuristic theme park on an isolated island, where genetically engineered dinosaurs roam free.

The film explores themes of scientific ethics, the unpredictability of nature, and the consequences of tampering with genetic engineering, blending thrilling action with thought-provoking questions. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The success of Jurassic Park and its book sparked a significant rise in the popularity of paleontology, resulting in a marked increase in students pursuing the subject.” 
      
    “The roars of the Tyrannosaurus Rex were created by combining sounds from various animals, including dogs, penguins, tigers, alligators, and elephants.” 
      
    “Michael Crichton originally envisioned John Hammond as a character inspired by a darker version of Walt Disney.” 
      
    “Universal Pictures acquired the film rights to Michael Crichton's novel for $2 million before it was even published.” 
      
    “The Mr. DNA cartoon, appearing around the 25-minute mark in the movie, was Steven Spielberg’s way of quickly summarizing much of the novel’s exposition.”

    This is a book bundle with four titles, which are: 
    - Eccentric Icons: Eccentricity has always held a peculiar charm, especially when it intertwines with fame. The world has an undeniable fascination with individuals who deviate from societal norms, and celebrities—already basking in the spotlight—amplify that intrigue when their beliefs and behaviors stray into the unconventional. These outliers captivate audiences not merely for their talents but for the mystique surrounding their lives and choices. 
    - Elites Unmasked: The power brokers of society have always operated behind a veil, their influence stretching across governments, corporations, and cultural institutions. These elites, shrouded in secrecy, wield disproportionate control over the mechanisms that shape our lives. This book seeks to unmask their agendas, exploring how they maintain power and why their influence often goes unchecked. 
    - Houdini's Last Trick: The story of Harry Houdini begins far from the glamour of theater stages and the awe-inspiring feats of magic that would later define his life. Born as Erik Weisz on March 24, 1874, in Budapest, Hungary, he was the fourth of seven children in a Jewish family facing the challenges of poverty. When Erik was four, his family emigrated to the United States, settling first in Appleton, Wisconsin. His father, Mayer Samuel Weisz, served as a rabbi, but his inability to sustain steady work placed the family in a constant struggle for survival. 
    - The Man Who Consumed Everything: Tarrare, a name that echoes through medical history as the embodiment of insatiable hunger, was a Frenchman whose life and condition baffled both his contemporaries and generations of scientists that followed. Born in 1772 in Lyon, France, to a poor farming family, Tarrare’s early years were marked by an extraordinary appetite that seemed to grow with him, quickly surpassing the needs of a typical child.
