Summary:
"A young immigrant doctor of Italian and Greek descent, Dario Asfar, struggles to establish his practice in Paris, desperate for money to provide for his family. When he comes upon an opportunity to oblige self-indulgent French nobility, he knows well that they want to eat of the forbidden fruit without paying for the sin, and sets out to sell himself as a 'master of souls,' a doctor who can miraculously cure their restless minds. This brings him great wealth and celebrity. Except he is no more than a charlatan, manipulating hopes and fleecing his wealthy patrons." --publisher's website.
