The Bura Suite is a sci-fi fairy tale set in a speculative future on an Earth almost completely covered in water, on which the mountain Velebit is one of the last remaining pieces of land.
The story follows two scientists who are seduced by the idea that wind, sea and other natural phenomena are actually conscious entities. Driven by an insatiable desire for knowledge, they embark on a search for Bura, one of the oldest remaining winds on Earth.
This book is a poetic commentary on the internal inquiries about essence, meaning and the human condition.
