"Over the strong nudity of truth, the diaphanous mantle of fantasy" - for synthesising the alliance between realism and imagination, naturalism and fantasy, evident in the work.
From the central intrigue - Teodorico's journey to the Holy Land, from which he brings, not the relic he promised his devout aunt, but rather, by mistake, the nightshirt of a lover - stands out the dream or time travel of the protagonist, who, accompanied by his learned friend, Dr. Topsius, witnesses the preaching, trial and death of Jesus.
