A new novel by a living classic of Israeli literature, written at the turn of the millennium, invites you on a long journey, both in time - to the end of the millennium, the year 999, and in space - to distant and wild Europe, tremblingly awaiting the second coming of the Deliverer. A successful Jewish merchant from Tangier, accompanied by two wives, a Muslim companion and a learned rabbi, sets off on an ocean voyage to the mouth of the Seine, and then to Paris and the Rhine Valley. His goal is reconciliation with his nephew and companion, whose new wife, a young widow from Worms, does not agree to tolerate the polygamy of his North African relative. This wandering leads to confusion, confusion and turns into a real carnival, in which it is no longer possible to distinguish the faces of the mummers. In the style characteristic of A.B. Yehoshua, which critics call the “anti-stream of consciousness”, turning to the memory of millennia, he explores the nature of duality - and looks for the possibility dialogue. Everything is divided into two and consists of two - men and women, past and future, West and East, sacred and base in their opposition only complement each other. Even duality itself is dual—every man has a feminine principle, and every woman has a masculine principle, the external duality echoes the duality of the soul, and the key to the story are the hero’s two wives.
