Atlas of the unseen

In "Atlas of the Hidden," we find ourselves on a journey inside the mind of Murad; the intriguing and thought-provoking protagonist. We approach his life and obsessions, reading his notes while questioning the boundaries where reality as we know it ends and the edges of imagination begin, and wondering about the complexities of the human mind and its ability to escape and move toward the extraordinary and the unfamiliar. In the elusive space between reality and fantasy, we follow Murad's manifestations and illuminations in realms that carry the reader into multiple lives and complex human emotions despite their apparent simplicity. "Atlas of the Hidden" is a novel about a lonely hero, but his memory is a mirror reflected upon by other characters who intersect with him either in his life or in his insights. It is also about the dilemma of being alone and inhabited by places and people at the same time, perhaps for this reason each of us can see a glimpse of himself in Murad.
