This book tells the story of a group of intellectuals who decide to abandon their material lives in order to pursue a more spiritual existence. While some find the change to be liberating, others find themselves struggling to maintain their new way of life.
A cynical young man convinces a rich old woman that he knows where to find the secret of eternal life. They travel to Israel, and discover a few things about themselves.
