Legend
Hallo everybody!  I'am Francesco Franceschi, 
the  author   of  the  science-fiction  tale 
"The Silence"  that  you  are  in  order  to 
begin  to read  (or that you have  only just 
read).  It's a tale  that I wrote only a few 
of time  ago,  in  a very noise day,  such I 
wonder  if   the silence  was  really better 
than the noise,  to which  inevitably we are 
subjrcted,  when we live in big cities. This 
tale  is  a  little strong,  but  I  like it 
because  it  hits  the unfathomable,  hidden 
and  underground  social  violence  that  is 
in several ways in every small or big towns.
Obviously I hope that "The Silence" remains mere fantasy.  In last years science-fiction left 
the limbo of poor sister of the so-called  "serious"  literature,  also if since past century 
brilliant writers  used  this literary way  in order  to spread  their thought and their more 
daring ideas.  The scientific world  still does not succeed to  explain in exhausting way the 
masterly intuitions  of forerunners  as  Julius Verne or the prophetic,  also  if terrifying, 
socio-technological forecasts of E. G. Wells. Many other forecasts about our future have been 
and will be foreseen  from the science-fiction writers, following these big forerunners, also 
because  several  world-famous  scientists,  as Clarke or Asimov,  only to mention someone of 
them, have written in the last few decades exceptional "fantastic" stories.  If also only one 
of their  "visions"  in a hundred had  to come true,  we will live really a fantastic future! 
In order  to conclude  this my short speech,  I invite anyone wants  let me know the feelings 
that this my short tale gave rise to him, to write me an e-mail. Under here you can read a my 
short Curriculum Vitae (Resume),  with my private e-mail.  I really  would like  to know your 
judgment,  because  I'm  always  a  lot  interested and curious  to learn  the moods of other 
peoples  in front  of  something I have created,  both  their moods are positive or negative.
