Even as a boy, having become an unwilling accomplice in a crime and horrified by what he did, he dreams of growing up strong and fair, developing his natural abilities to help people, intending to be a healer of their bodies and souls, and learning love and mercy. But the fateful chain of circumstances—though they can hardly be called accidental—somehow leads him back to violence and murder…
Here you’ll find a dynamic plot, subtle psychoanalysis, and impressive erotic scenes… But the eroticism in the novel is not the goal in itself—it is a key to discovering hidden sides of a human personality, driven by passion and the search for the meaning of existence.
