Planet Zhelanie

Planet Zhelanie is the first that I am working on. It is about a planet located in a parallel universe governed by thought rather than matter. The planet works according to different temporal and spatial laws. These laws are dictated according to the sense-data acquired on Earth. The permutations of possible scenes are endless.

 

In the planet one can realise one's wish. One can only doing this by denying the ego and becoming a more moral person. The more one reduces the ego, and the more one embraces 'pure ideas,' the more one advances in the planet. The lead character, Igor, spends milennia in the planet grappling with this. 

 

 

The novel is influenced by the fiction of Jorge Luis Borges, the philosophical work of Arthur Schopenhauer and the films of Andrei Tarkovsky.
