The Journey

Author: Eva Stamou

...Games on the sea surface are always fun for the mind and body. The reflection of light on the water's surface, the gently lapping waves kissing the shore and then receding, the small fish as they float with the sea foam, the taste of saltiness on the lips—all of this can be an endless source of pleasure. Despite this, there are the dark, frightening yet enchanting depths, full of secrets and promises, full of gifts for anyone who decides to explore them. There, the true nature of the ocean stands. If one overcomes their initial fears, the journey can be not only fulfilling but also full of knowledge, ecstasy, and true discovery. Don't you want to see the colors of the deep? Do you want to stay only on the surface? If your answer is yes, then I can only wish you a pleasant journey on the shallow surface... A man and a woman decide to escape on a journey outside the city and daily burdens; but will they be able to escape themselves? The Journey is a novel about desire, the obsessions of the mind, the cycles of emotion, humanity's ability to self-realize, and its greater mastery of self-deception.
