Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative unfolds during a train journey from Calcutta, where two travelers encounter a mysterious man whose confident discourse on various subjects captivates them. Initially assumed to be a Mahomedan, his profound insights reveal hidden political tensions and complexities surrounding them. His ability to quote science, the Vedas, and Persian poetry leaves the travelers in awe, particularly influencing the theosophist among them, who speculates about the man's supernatural qualities. The story explores themes of knowledge, perception, and the unseen forces shaping their world.
