Synopsis
Revised and translated into English, Rosaluna takes Enzo Tiezzi's previous book, Beauty and Science to the next level. It contains categories that have long been separated and demonstrates a unity that is expressed in narrative form as Rosaluna.
Though a novel, it continues with a theme that recurs throughout Tiezzi’s scientific and popular works: the need for a sustainable approach to the world we live in. The reader steps into the life of Rosaluna armed with scientific knowledge of nature, environmental harmony and modern theories of evolutionary physics, thermodynamics, and chaos. The concept of time in the novel is non-linear, with Rosaluna moving backwards and forwards through time as she pleases. The tale stimulates the imagination and shows the infinite paths the future might hold.
