About This Book

Kertoja muistelee nuoruuttaan ja suhdettaan oppineeseen mutta levottomaan apottiin, kokoen muistelmamaisia jaksoja, jotka yhdistävät erudition, satiiriset kuvaukset papiston ja porvariston elämästä sekä filosofiset keskustelut magiaa, kabbalaa ja uskontoa koskien. Muistelmat, seurustelut ja hupaiset pienoiskuvat keittiöistä, kapakoista ja salongeista vuorottelevat vakavampien pohdintojen kanssa uskonnon, epäilyn ja tiedon rajojen suhteen, ja kertomus huipentuu apotin traagiseen kuolemaan sekä kertojan hillittyyn arvioon ihmisen turhamaisuudesta ja haavoittuvuudesta.
