The novel is set in the middle of the fourth century AD, in the late Roman Empire. The main character, a young man named Alkinoi, comes to study rhetoric with a famous tutor in one of the cities of Asia Minor. Together with the tutor and his companions, he travels through Asian cities, finds himself in a fortress besieged by Persians, is miraculously saved to be captured by robbers, and sees and listens to many amazing things - from a story about lions roaming through a provincial town to a story about fighting a demon that kills babies. Biographies of great rhetors confuse his mind and heart, and a series of events, comic and sad, make him wonder if he really wants to follow such fame.
