Deep into the sands of the desert in Roman Egypt, an Alexandrian scribe journeys by camel to the isolated alcove of a remarkable saint, and, inspired by the historical and religio-cultural tradition of the Egyptian land, conceives of the saint's mental warfare against demons within a hagiographical mindscape.
Part rich historical digression, part psychological analysis of Christianity and morality as derived from the setting of Late Antique Roman Egypt. Please, enjoy.
