An illustrated e-book - Cafè Nirvana: The editorial project of Curtis and Moore Italia in collaboration with the writer Stefano Cortese.

The publishing house Curtis & Moore Italia has recently published on the international platform, KDP Amazon kindle publishing, the first two illustrated e-books, respectively in Italian and English version, of an interesting series, "Cafè Nirvana".

Napoli, 19/11/2020 (informazione.it - comunicati stampa - editoria e media)

The "Cafè Nirvana" project was born from an idea of the author Mariano Luchini, a journalist and creative artist who imagined and coordinated the international edition of a electronic illustrated books (e-books) and paperbacks series that would present not only the textual content but also the graphic one through numerous and particular illustrations as a corollary.

The series was conceived in collaboration with the Italian writer Stefano Cortese who was responsible for the entire writing of the texts. The editorial coordination of the series is entrusted to the cultural researcher Cristiano Luchini, assisted by a large staff of professional graphic designers and layout designers who have allowed the final realization of the work.

The first book and the first edition of the series "Cafè Nirvana", is composed of three short stories, with the masterful collaboration of three international artists, Anya Surgan, Lakshman Khadapkar and Arturo Portillo from Eastern Europe, India and Central America respectively. Through their wonderful illustrations, exclusively created for the series, it has been possible to create a complete and certainly satisfying editorial work for the reader since the first edition.

The narration of the episodes in the series of "Cafè Nirvana" is structured in a fantastic habitat, a place out of time and space where some great characters belonging to various historical eras who, by "obscure arcane", can meet and confront each other, arguing; of literature, politics, music, art, poetry, sociality, humanity, etc…

The characters in these stories will therefore act in an indefinite, relative time.

Accepting Albert Einstein's statement, "Time is relative, its only value is given by what we do while it is passing", we can imagine that the dimension in which the characters act is a projection of inner time, which takes shape according to the circumstances, events and experiences of each of them.

This relative time may assume, time by time, the characteristics of a space dear to memory or at the time of one of the two characters, protagonists, probably the one who sets the dialogical action in motion. The differentiation of the context time by time, for each of the characters, will allow the author to differentiate for each episode, the scenography, always having new ones, linked to the characters, in which to allow them to move.

The series, "Cafè Nirvana", therefore, summarizes and exemplifies a concept:.

The Cafè is commonly a meeting place, a resting place, a real undefined space. Nirvana, represents the last stage of illumination, the end of reincarnations, the absence of desire, the culminating point of a process of liberation.

Having arrived at "Café Nirvana", our characters are diluted by their time and passions.  There is only a dialogue about the facts of a world that they are no longer interested in...
