Notwithstanding the little experience in the field, he has demonstrated a great ability to combine his soul of passionate traveller with his fictional creativity. Travid: Behind the Nine Stars is a book full of action and mystery framed in distant landscapes populated by unlikely characters. An imaginary world created in the smallest detail that owes much of its creation to the many journeys that have punctuated the author’s life, and that functions as the perfect gateway from the oppressing everyday reality.

This event encouraged him to write and publish his personal traveling adventures. From this turning point, two novels were born: Story about my travel (2019) written in his mother tongue, and the most recent Travid: Behind the Nine Starsù (2021) written in English, in which he explores for the first time the fascinating world of Science Fiction.




Adriaan Koerbagh, A Light Shining in Dark Places, to Illuminate the Main Questions of Theology and Religion


Book Description

Ever since it was first written, Adriaan Koerbagh's anti-Christian work, A Light Shining in Dark Places, has been nearly inaccessible. Had it been known during the Enlightenment, it would have been a great inspiration to radical thinkers. However, it was suppressed and the author died in jail. The full text is now available in English. Koerbagh demolishes such Christian notions as the Creator, the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus, heaven and hell, angels, devils and miracles. Instead, he presents a monistic world view in which Nature and God are identical. Theology is a part of natural science. God can only be worshipped by acting rationally. Koerbagh's rational religion is intended to contribute to a free, peaceful and liberal society.
