The World Below Mihaela Moraru

The World Below (bilingual Romanian-English SAGA Edition, 2020) 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 author bewares through all her prophetic visions, that we have forgotten the initial divine perfection and that only the unchain love can render it. 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 hill. 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 of Maya, named Tepeu. Their son is born to be a king named Pakal of Yucatan 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. The dialogue respects the ancient archaic inversion lyrics, which moves the story back in those times. Celestine is a strong literary voice, well-defined and courageous, with a safe and original count, mastering with equal mastery the poetic, narrative, or philosophical-essayistic register. The symbols from ancient mythologies, but also recent theories of quantum or genetic physics are the support of the elegantly blended transgender texts, penetrating and conquering the epic fantasy and visionary lyricism that can easily be transformed into a great movie.
