Set in the cultural framework of post-Communist Orthodox Romania, Simon Palamas’ love of books, his marriage, and his travels lead him on a spiritual and literary quest through diverse religious and literary traditions (Chinese mythology; Sufi, Hindu and Buddhist mysticism; and both Western and Eastern Orthodox Christianity), yielding an astonishing end to the journey.

Giorno dopo giorno, il tempo scorre come un copione già scritto, ma dietro le mura si cela un enigma che nessun potere può dominare. I consiglieri del re non sono soltanto figure al suo fianco: sono echi, riflessi, presenze che svelano e nascondono al tempo stesso.

الحياة لم تبد لي أحيانًا شكلًا من أشكال المعقول كأنها لوحة سريالية أشبە بحلم.. بل تفسر أحيانًا بخلط الواقع بالخيال، ولا أدري إذا كنت واعيًا لواقعي أم هائمًا في بحر الخيال أم هي مجرد تأملات شاردة تهاجمني في صحوتي ومنامي هربًا من واقع مفروض؟! يبدو أن البحر سمع هواجسي وقرأ أفكاري فاخترقت إحدى موجاتە رأسي لتعيدني إلى صوابي.
