Description
THE UNIVERSE IN OCTOSYLLABLES
Book Summary
A unique work that intertwines the precision of physical cosmology with the musicality of octosyllabic verse. The author, Silvano Andrés de la Morena, addresses fundamental questions about the origin and destiny of the universe through an extensive poem that combines scientific rigor with literary beauty. This book invites the reader to contemplate reality from a dual perspective, where the gaze of the poet and that of the astrophysicist converge to explore the mysteries of the cosmos.
What is it about?
The work is presented as an ambitious poem that narrates the history of the universe, from its origins to its final destination, using the octosyllabic meter as its structural backbone. The author explores the links between poetry and physical cosmology, demonstrating that both disciplines share the same impulse: to take a step back to observe reality with perspective. Throughout its pages, the reader will find a reflection on the eternal questions that have accompanied humanity, treated with the rigor demanded by science and the sensitivity characteristic of the poetic word.

Editorial Review
This is a bold and stimulating literary proposal that succeeds in building a solid bridge between two worlds that rarely dialogue on the same level. The decision to use the octosyllable as a metrical structure brings a hypnotic rhythm to the narration of the cosmos, making scientific content accessible without losing rigor. It may be of particular interest to readers who seek poetry with intellectual substance and to scientists with artistic sensitivity who wish to explore new forms of expression.
