Florian

Florian was a French author known for his contributions to literature during the late 18th century. He gained recognition for his fables, which were inspired by the works of La Fontaine and often contained moral lessons wrapped in engaging narratives. His notable collection, 'Fables De Florian,' showcased his ability to blend humor with insightful commentary on human nature, making his fables popular among readers of his time. Florian's writing style was characterized by its clarity and elegance, appealing to both children and adults alike. In addition to his fables, Florian ventured into historical and romantic narratives, as seen in works like 'History of the Moors of Spain' and 'The Adventures of Alphonso and Marina: An Interesting Spanish Tale.' His historical writings provided a unique perspective on the cultural and social dynamics of Spain, while his pastoral romance 'Stella' reflected the sentimental trends of the era. Translated into English by Miss Elizabeth Morgan, 'Stella' further expanded his readership and demonstrated his versatility as an author. Florian's literary contributions, particularly in the realm of fables and romantic tales, left a lasting impact on French literature and influenced subsequent generations of writers, solidifying his place in the literary canon of his time.

“Politician? Me? Do I look like a big mouth with large pockets?””

Io Deceneus: Journal of a Time Traveler

“It’s the end of the day, but it feels like dawn, and a new beginning. It comes to me that both twilight periods are, in fact, symmetrical events on opposite sides of midnight, a cycle of endless creation and destruction, an Ouroboros.””

The Shamans at the End of Time

“When the fight ends you can afford to relax. That’s the worst part. Winner or loser you have again eyes to see around you. Blood, butchered bodies, bodies pierced by arrows. You stir inside, your heart tightens, the feeling of loss wells up. The sense of smell is the next thing to revive, adding a new dimension of pain. I closed the eyes of the last cadet, blue eyes, unseeing, his body, so small, almost a child, the youngest cadets were all gone, their faces surprised in death. Cold lips never able again to kiss a girl. It’s then that the emptiness swallows you and you mourn inside. Damn you, Scharon. No! Damn you, Travellers.””
