What this episode covers

The second season of Overmorrow’s Library is dedicated to world-building, world-ending, and travel across worlds. Federico Campagna presents a new selection of books that might help us to appreciate the fragility of ‘worlds’, and the art of creating new ones through a particular use of our imagination. The best book that never was: ‘The Alexander Romance’, a composite epic written somewhere in the Mediterranean, sometime in the past, by someone who was many people, on the adventures of a hero who travelled beyond the world and back.
