In 1666, Baldassare Embriaco, a descendant of Genoese settled in Lebanon, undertakes a journey in search of a book he believes will protect him from the catastrophes that are announced. The journey, which takes him across the Mediterranean to London, combines fear, deceit and disillusionment with love, and shows the encounters between East and West.
