Cycles of Life - Antonia Stjernfelt Nilsson - Bog

The reader is invited to a journey through cycles of life, visiting emotional and mental landscapes, looking at processes taking place on the earthly level and casting a glance on the cosmological dimension. The journey begins with the creation of a personal space, an Eden in miniature where creation is abundant, and voices are singing in harmony. After a while, unsettling ripples disturb the order of things while dissonance infiltrates the inner space taking us by surprise.

The story is woven in a series of miniature-narratives that form an odyssey. At first, the self looks at the world from the distance trying to make sense of it all. After a while, she is caught in the violent process of transformation being forced to witness the changes that are taking place inside and outside. The veils of night flutter disclosing hidden things while the colourful curtains of day-to-day sensations act as lenses to her eyes.
