Come fare a raggiungere l'Aldilà, il più antico dei continenti, i cui confini misteriosi giacciono dentro di noi lambiti dal burrascoso mare della psiche? Chi sono gli esploratori e le esploratrici che hanno raggiunto quelle sponde, e quali sono i segreti che hanno nascosto dentro le loro storie? Dopo "I confini del mondo", con "Le porte dell'immaginazione" Igor Sibaldi torna a mostrarci il sentiero per raggiungere i luoghi più inesplorati di noi stessi e per recuperare il senso di appartenenza a quell'io più grande che abbiamo dimenticato.
