Savršeno sećanje na smrt

At the start of the fifteenth century a band of riders stumbles on an ancient mausoleum, which turns out to be the place of their initiation into a mystical teaching: the soul travels without end, changing only its names and keeping a perfect memory of death. The hero, Filarion, and his teacher, the Neoplatonist philosopher Gemistos Plethon, lead the reader on a kind of pilgrimage toward the immortality of the soul. Around them the novel brings to life Constantinople, Mistra and the last remnants of the thousand-year empire, its philosophers, generals, emperors and ordinary people, before and during the city's defence in 1453, as Christianity meets advancing Islam and some dream of joining Pythagoras with Christ.
