The author of this novel is a poet, its hero is a poet, and most of its people are poets, and its subject is poetry and literature, and its lesson is that the poetic soul is the most beautiful thing in the world, and the most creative image drawn by the brush of the greatest painter in the palette of beings, and that it is what wanderers wander about, and those who are obsessed take over it, when they think that they love images and are interested in the beauties of faces.
