Ruggero Benedetto’s publishing house, Biblioter, has launched a groundbreaking project with the publication of ‘Omero Principe di Marina Corta’ (pp. 325, euro 33). The book is available not only in print and digital versions, but also, for the first time, in NFT (Non Fungible Token) format, marking a revolutionary moment in the publishing world.

The NFT Version

The book’s presentation at the Turin Book Fair highlighted its innovative NFT version. An NFT (Non Fungible Token) is a digital certificate that guarantees the uniqueness and ownership of a digital asset. This format transforms the book into a unique work of art and a potential investment, adding a new dimension to book collecting.

Multimedia Reading Experience

Biblioter has created a proprietary platform that enhances the reading experience. The digital book is accompanied by images, maps, and music that follow the protagonist’s sea journey, creating an immersive and interactive reading environment. This innovative approach goes beyond mere text, offering readers an enriched and engaging narrative.

Turin Book Fair Presentation

During the presentation in Turin, Benedetto praised the author, who goes by the pseudonym The Eolian Reader, as a unique talent who explores profound themes with originality and intensity. With ‘Homer Prince of Marina Corta’, Benedetto aims to celebrate Sicily’s cultural heritage and the centrality of the Mediterranean, fostering collective identification and imaginative awareness.

Homer’s Journey

The plot follows Homer, a traveler who crosses the Pillars of Hercules, visiting Sicily and the main Greek islands. This journey serves as a backdrop to rediscover works of art that evoke the great classics of Greek culture, intertwining ancient and contemporary elements in a captivating narrative.

The Novelty of the NFT Format

The groundbreaking aspect of this book lies in its NFT format. This format, secured by blockchain technology, renders each copy of the book unique and inimitable. The NFT provides a new level of authenticity and ownership, transforming the book into a digital work of art whose value may appreciate over time. ‘Homer Prince of Marina Corta’ is not just a book but a harbinger of a new era in publishing. NFT technology allows books to become unique collector’s items, offering readers and collectors a novel way to own and enjoy literary works. This initiative may pave the way for numerous NFT-format publications, revolutionizing the world of books and reading.
