The events of the novel (The Adventure) begin at a time when I was still a child and teenager in Naples, Italy, then a student registered at the International School in Switzerland, then a student registered until the fourth year at the Bern Medical School. It was assumed that I was continuing to study there, but instead I dropped out and became constantly on the move, between Paris, London and Berlin, as in all these cities I always had the necessary places to stay. Until one morning I took the train to St. Petersburg, and my life changed completely. The problem is that everything in this world was beginning to interest me, especially the world of the Far East.
