As a man lies reflecting on the past and his last experience, collecting incidents from human history to find the underlying pattern that connects them, his reveries lead him to other tales: one of a lighthouse keeper on a lonely island, another of a rivalry among Renaissance artists, and finally, a startling story from his own life. Ingeniously stitched together, these tales form one of the most powerful narratives in recent memory.
