About the book
The first portion of the book describes Katsansakis life and his decision to leave his home and travel to Europe. His plan is to live as an ascetic and determine what his purpose in life is supposed to be. The second half of the book is the outcome of that self-investigation. It is written in iambic pentameter and absolutely beautiful.
