On a cold night in the Netherlands, "Max Delius," an astronomer and hedonist, and "Onno Quist," a chaotic linguist who cannot bear the trivialities of daily life, meet by chance. Despite their stark differences, a great friendship blossoms between them. Soon after, they discover they were born on the same day of the same year, and that their lives intersected in an extraordinary moment with the cellist "Ada." From this moment arises a physical and spiritual fatherhood of a child with astonishing talents, who will be tasked by heaven with accomplishing a very strange mission.
In this Faustian novel, full of surprises, we feel as if we are facing a grand mosaic, rich with insightful discussions about astronomy, architecture, philosophy, art, religion, language, memory, and history... It is an epic novel that lingers in the reader's mind long after finishing it, offering them the opportunity to interpret it in more than one way, and leaving them in awe of its author's encyclopedic knowledge and fertile imagination... How could it not, when he is one of the greatest Dutch novelists and thinkers?!
