01 / CURRENT
Three works
in motion.
Projects with open texts, new manuscripts or active editorial work.
01A trilogy about mind, intimacy and desire
Sapiophile
What attracts us to another mind, what makes it possible to think closely together, and when does the exchange acquire erotic meaning?
02Literary mirror for princes · nonfictionThe Weight of the Crown
Thirty-three counsels to a future king on the human being, the court, the realm, the storm and the farewell.
03Literary nonfiction · standalone workBlack Muse
Desire, obsession and creative force — and the person who disappears when inspiration is given a more beautiful name.
02 / LITERARY WORLDS
Affinity makes
the catalogue legible.
The works are grouped by thematic and editorial kinship without pretending that they share one narrative.
Hamar / the silence
Two distinct realities sharing a local landscape, preparedness and a darker resonance.
Related works · not the same continuityIndependent works
Projects developing their own form, central question and readership.
