The INCOMPREHENSIBLE
Stories, visions and wonderful books for idiots

The incomprehensible power over the millennia: the latinorum, diriment impediments, the default spread bund. That the pain that shatters the self-narration, adolescents (“I’m misunderstood”, “most do not understand”), children “hyperactive,” foreigners. The incomprehensible horror, alien remote in space or close in Artificial Intelligence. But also the pleasure of the Incomprehensible; the shade of meaning that escapes from the fingers in a
poem, a painting, music, and urges us to read more. The puzzle of a mystery, the ambiguity of a figure, a crossword puzzle: what is a complicated art and is expressed before us.
Friend is the Incomprehensible: the whole world, for example, in the eyes of a child of three years, which is not alarmed, but accepts and begins to take step by step and understand.
We have always told stories of Tonti Magnificent, not pretend to have it all but preserve itself in different degrees and ways, that incomprehension without dismay. The idiot, the lamb, the fool of God; blockhead Pinocchio, Donald Duck, Forrest Gump, Mr. Venerable, Gurduloo … To walk these streets of the incomprehensible new Tuttestorie Festival, with bold step by Tonti Beautiful, inviting her public to leave out the barren gray arrogance of Intelligent. Books are mysterious, that the authors will try, probably unsuccessfully, to explain. Figures that seem to be one thing but are another. Games will roll over, where the children explain to adults, dumb digital. Will puzzle and puzzles, obscure oracles, riddles of history and famous private viewers, resolved or proclaimed mysteries.
And a King of Tonti, much of Superesperto Nothing govern bestowing awards and redemption.
