"A journey into the Matamonia of Esagro Noroi ”by Lucio Besana, contained in the collection "Stories of the crimson series" (Edizioni Hypnos 2021), accompanies the reader through a pilgrimage with uchronic connotations, showing the limits and tensions of the symbol, both given by its dependence on the processes of natural and sacral reification. The story takes the destructive symptomatology of the present to an extreme, an Enlightenment residue that tends to demystify the cultural power of a given object, thus resizing the value and potential of the human being.
