- Pirin, Book III, The Gests of Nhalbar - 21 August 2023
The trilogy is now complete! Weaving together all the separate loose threads of the Pirin trilogy may seem an uncanny feat, and yet this is precisely Sebastiano B. Brocchi’s great accomplishment in the final volume of the trilogy, “The Gests of Nhalbar”, translated in English by Giovanni Carmine Costabile. Prepare yourself, o reader, to meet old and new friends and foes, prepare yourself to see them turn their coats, prove true, stand together or against each other, face many challenges, fight, and, above all, fulfil their fate in finding Wisdom. In the epic succession of trials and battles leading all the way up to a final confrontation of colossal proportions, every reader will understand what it means enduring the darkness until “the Coming of the Day.” https://i.ibb.co/SyxTGZf/1024.png
- Pirin, Book II, Hairam The Queen - 12 August 2022
We are pleased to announce the publication of "Hairam the Queen - Pirin Trilogy - Book II", the amazing high fantasy novel by Sebastiano B. Brocchi, translated into English by Giovanni Carmine Costabile. Verily Brocchi's imagination, mastery of symbolism, and insight is so great that one feels inspired to compose some flight of fancy of his own, in the trail of the Swiss writer. Readers of the first volume of the Pirin trilogy are already familiar with this sort of inventiveness, happily married with a profoundity of thought, but they will still be surprised by the many turns unfolding in the narrative, as well as by its tackling, this time, a single, problematic issue: trust. In the sequence of adventures leading to an unforeseen ending, even you, dear reader, may find answers you had been looking for, and finally understand what it means “for Lothriel to have a Queen”. https://i.ibb.c…

- Pirin, Book I, Memoirs of Helewen - 16 April 2020
Sebastiano B. Brocchi's “Pirin” Saga is a brave dare: is it possible to create a credible High Fantasy narrative universe, meticulously structured, based upon a solid lore, but essentially founded upon the depth of a philosophical, spiritual, humane message? Stories rooted in the mythical, legendary heritage of the Ancient World and the Middle Ages, in the history and mysticism of several civilizations and ages, in order to weave the branching threads of an epic, magical saga available in different media. Besides the works of the main trilogy, in fact, several spin-offs and a videogame have been released, the latter receiving enthusiastic reviews on an international level. Today, the first volume of the literary trilogy, titled “Pirin, Book I, Memoirs of Helewen”, has been launched online in ebook format (soon to be available in print as well) in the English translation by Tolkien schol…

- Update 1.0.2 (beta) - 23 January 2018
Hello everyone, thank you for your valued suggestions, feedback and for your interest in our old fashioned point and click adventure game! :) Thanks to your help we figured out that a lot of random issues that some players are having are caused by the game engine itself. The version we used (Visionaire Studio v3.7) has some bugs that can't be addressed. So, what we did? We bought the license for the latest version of Visionaire Studio and we already updated and recompiled the game. Warning: this new version is still beta but if you had major problems playing the current 1.0.1 build of the game (crashes, invisible characters, crazy mouse, ...) you can already have access to the 1.0.2 version right now! It is also faster and much lighter. How? Very simple: Right click on "Eselmir and the five magical gifts" on your Steam library. Select "Properties". Select "v1.0.2" under the "Betas" tab.…
