Eléazard von Wogau, a journalist posted to Brazil's north-east, receives an unpublished biography of the Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher and is drawn into a quest through learning and legend that reshapes his life. Kircher's world resonates in other stories: a scientist on an unlikely Mato Grosso dig, a lost student, and a crippled favela boy bent on revenge.
