      THE MYTH

      OF THE SAPPHIRE MASKS

      INTRODUCTION

      "It is the 22nd year after the disappearance of Atlantis»: this is the introduction of The Myth of the Sapphire Masks, definitely not an allusive beginning, rather a promise that nothing will be left unsaid and it will not be necessary to read between the lines. And as this unexpected introduction comes from an author whose books have always offered knowledge only partially revealed, leaving a lot more to be discovered, we immediately suspect that it will be necessary to examine the story very carefully. It is told at breakneck speed, introducing a large number of characters, situations, causes, effects, and coincidences, with no artifices, and no literary devices, reaching its conclusion in less than a hundred pages, as if the author felt the urge to tell the plot before he forgot it. Those who met Falco Tarassaco, Oberto Airaudi, know that he enjoyed saying he did not remember anything from one day to the next, despite the fact that everyone felt he had the memory of an elephant; who knows, maybe in the case of this story, he was really worried about forgetting things along the way.

      Before talking about its content, let us focus for a moment on the style in which this myth is written: in many ways, it seems more like the subject of a movie, or a long sequence of captions for illustrations that no one has ever drawn, than a narration intended for the pleasure of reading. In so little space, Falco touches upon so many plots, each providing a potential spin-off that could last much longer than the whole story; and he does it with such nonchalance, with so little care for his literary style – he who loved writing so much – as to force us to think that there is a coded message for those who have the ability to grasp it.

      Let us take the numbers, for example: starting from that 22, the whole story is full of numbers that Falco meticulously mentions, with an almost fastidious precision, to underline various situations of the story. Why? What is behind this? Is there perhaps a proportional progression, a sort of Fibonacci’s sequence from an esoteric perspective, through which one will be able to decode a sort of bonus lead hidden in the myth?

      Moreover, the story itself revolves around some fundamental themes: the end of Atlantis, the mutual search for the Feminine and Masculine, the relationship between human beings and Gods, the magic of the North and that of the South, the power of choice, nature seen not just as a background but as a character like the others. Above all, the journey: had the author felt more inclined to use anglicisms, we would talk about a story «on the road», just like Seven Scarlet Doors, written a few years later.

      And then we reach the end, terrible and promising at the same time: the place they taught us to be the most beautiful is the one where we feel more like prisoners than anywhere else, but escaping is possible, if we know how to become transgressors. We will not add anything else, maybe just a reflection, inspired from the last statement, that brings us to the heart of Falco’s teachings: who is a transgressor? A person who does not respect the rules? No, it is someone who creates a new rule, their own. And around this
