Circumstance took the author to the Persian Gulf, to Ethiopia and Africa's Great Rift Valley, to Iran, Yemen, and Bahrain, and ultimately back to Turkey, and though his journeys were never a conscious search for Eden, they became that for him in retrospect. Weir takes us with him on this inner and outer journey through literature, science, theology, and archaeology.

Jaap Scholten bereisde grote delen van Hongarije en Roemenie en ontmoette daar de nazaten van de eens zo aanzienlijke Transsylvaanse aristocratie. Met hen bezocht hij de kelders en zolders waar ze tijdens het communisme noodgedwongen woonden en de dwangarbeiderskampen waar ze stenen vergruisden. Met de jongste generatie aristocraten zocht hij truffels en sprak hij over de gerestitueerde bezittingen en de toekomst.
