In 1912, on the day of the Titanic's sinking, Pilgrim attempts to hang himself and survives inexplicably. His friend Sybil Quartermaine commits him to the Burghölzli clinic in Zurich, where Carl Jung, fascinated, tries to decipher his mutism. Pilgrim claims to be immortal, to have lived for millennia, and to have known Leonardo da Vinci, Oscar Wilde, and Henry James. Madness, memory, or miracle?
