Born From Fiction


You love adventure. You dive into the pages of your favourite book. Go explore Spain. Ancient Greece. Japan. Medieval Europe.  Middle Earth. Westeros. You see pain, danger, excitement and beauty, in the world and in strangers’ eyes. You learn about the meaning of life, and the characters make you feel alive..
You love adventure. You’re the first to run down the trail and climb steep cliffs. Drive over the speed limit, Sneak out at night. Smoke a cigarette. And you feel alive.

Then you taste the world. The commotion, the chaos and serenity. True love. True loss. Brutality. Suffering. Hunger…but it is through your own eyes. All of the sudden, living through a book is not enough. Not having that piece of the world is a dull, aching pain—a pain that strikes once, and then never goes away.
