    "Rediscover Wonder".

    Luigi Pascal offers you back the magic, curiosity and wanderlust of how we once saw our world through eyes labelled — those children (years ago) now. With a children's book writer background and an organiser motivated by psychology, neuroscience and philosophy, the author will provide deep insight into reconciling childlike wonder with everyday adult life of maturity or wisdom.

    This short but informative guide shall walk you through the following:


    Spark your curiosity and find the exceptional in the mundane.
    Use imagination to solve problems creatively.
    Develop emotional honesty in a world that sells the status quo.
    Establish deeper, more meaningful connections with openness and play.
    Juggle mature responsibilities with childlike wonder and fun.
    It's full of pragmatic exercises, real-world stories, and access to thought leaders like Brené Brown, Stuart Brown, and Susan David (all featured in the book), who made this rich landscape tangible—as a map for living an even more fulfilling, creative, wonder-filled life.

    "Rediscovering Wonder" is for parents who want to enter their child's world more fully, professionals longing to reinvent themselves and leverage creativity in the workforce, or anyone feeling like they need a refresher on life.



    Walk with us through this transformative process as we explore the miracle of the world looking anew.

    Your inner child — and your adult self, anyway, will thank you.

    La storia si svolge tra Napoli, Milano e Londra e tratta di amicizia, tradimento, amore, ambizione e perdono.

    L’autore, Luigi Pascal Rondanini, alternando passato e presente, offre uno sguardo sull’anima umana e il suo peso.

    Questa versione romanzata ed espansa del racconto teatrale, I Fantasmi del Passato, già pubblicata su Amazon Kindle, include un inedito quarto capitolo che lo porta a una conclusione intensa e appagante.

    PAZZIGNO A/R è un romanzo che rievoca l’importanza del passato e delle amicizie che ci definiscono, così come le vite che plasmiamo con le nostre scelte.

    Using Claire de Voyant's words
    "You hold two short and captivating literary works in your hands that challenge conventional narratives and offer unique perspectives on classic stories and archetypes. 'The Looking Glass Tales' by Pascal de Napoli and 'Code of Justice-Robin Hood Saga' are not just reimaginations. They are thought-provoking journeys that will pique your curiosity and spark your imagination.

    In "The Looking Glass Tales," de Napoli takes us on a journey through a series of reimagined fables, each one subverting traditional expectations and casting a new light on familiar characters. From a compassionate witch in the story of Hansel and Gretel to a vain Cinderella learning the true meaning of beauty, these tales challenge our preconceived notions of heroism and villainy. De Napoli's skilful storytelling invites us to question the binary nature of morality and consider the nuances beneath the surface of these timeless narratives.

    Similarly, "Code of Justice - Robin Hood Saga" transplants the legendary tale of Robin Hood into a modern, tech-savvy world where the lines between justice and lawbreaking are increasingly blurred. In this gripping saga, Robin Hood and his band of Merry Hacktivists navigate a complex landscape of corporate greed, political corruption, and social inequality. Through their daring exploits and unwavering commitment to the greater good, they challenge the foundations of power and inspire a new generation of digital revolutionaries."

    In a bar on the outskirts of Naples, Antonio casually meets his old friend Giorgio, with whom he hadn't spoken for decades.

    The two decide to spend the morning together, between memories and confessions, on a journey into the most hidden depths of their existence and their turbulent past.

    This collection of short stories aims to instill important life lessons in young readers through imaginative tales exploring friendship, courage, compassion, and personal growth.

    The Grand Vegetable Parade celebrates embracing differences and diversity through a joyful celebration in a village of anthropomorphic vegetables. Each unique veggie resident proudly displays their creativity by dressing up for a vibrant parade. By weaving together their diverse talents and working in harmony, they show that communities are enriched by variety.

    The Tales of the Travelling Troupe shares the adventures of savannah animals journeying together to find a magical spring that can grant the giraffes’ wish for longer necks. Through teamwork and perseverance, they discover the strength of diversity, the power of dreams, and the magic of unity. Their epic quest teaches that living compassionately and supporting one another enables achieving the impossible.

    In The Gadget Crew, a smart phone learns to find adventure and meaning through small acts of everyday compassion after underestimating his ability to help others. Though he wants to prove himself through grand heroic quests, he discovers true heroism springs from ordinary moments of kindness.

    A Golden Lesson shares a poor girl’s lessons about the true meaning of wealth after years of envying her peers' possessions. With the help of a mysterious friend, she realizes her mother’s selfless love and sacrifice mattered more than material gifts. The tale affirms family bonds and doing good deeds as life’s greatest riches.

    Other stories promote perseverance in pursuing talents (Phoenix Rising), finding purpose through community service (The Light Within), staying true to one’s values (Racing Against Time), and having hope during trials (The Kingdom Yet to Come). Brief motivational essays inspire developing skills for their own fulfillment, not ego.
