Trama
In the year 143710 AD a scholar named Paul Fahrenheit found, in an archaeological site, a large mass of cards, from which he drew a complete trilogy. The first two volumes, already translated and published by Fahrenheit, are The Left Hand of God (which is also the title of trilogy) and The Four Last Things. But, with regard to the third volume, Fahrenheit asked the committee responsible not to publish the content, considering it unnecessarily, because it belongs to an earthly civilization of which the traces have disappeared. Since these terrestrial ancestors would anticipate the conquests of today's Humanity, arriving to land on the Moon 165000 years earlier, Fahrenheit placed his question and was answered negatively. He (who does not use his name, but his mother's name), also has the obligation to make known the third volume of the trilogy, provided that at first insert the outcome of the request to the committee responsible. He follows a psychiatric expertise of the protagonist Thomas Cale, admitted to the hospital in Cyprus, as a further precaution of Fahrenheit on the veracity of the book. So you pass to the text that tells Cale's deeds in the asylum and those of his friends Henri the Vago, Kleist and IdrisPukke.
