Synopsis
A humorous tale found within this book unveils the adventures of Democritus, a great philosopher who turns his back on society and takes shelter in a remote desert. After two years alone, he is eventually visited by a prince and his entourage who invite him and his companion Criseis to their castle. Democritus, despite his criticism of living in society, is soon tempted by the finer things in life, including Criseis, a beautiful young woman he has sworn to protect. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the foibles of human nature, told with humor and depth, and provides insights into the human condition that are as relevant today as they were when this book was first written.
