"The Journey Through the Ages" is Schmitt's grand philosophical and romantic saga, an attempt to grasp and comprehend the whole of human history.
...The tragedies of Euripides and the Olympic Games, the Peloponnesian War and the Athenian plague, the divine pantheon and the beginnings of rationalism. The immortal healer Noam, his eternal lover Nura, and his half-brother Derek survived the Great Flood, visited Mesopotamia, then Ancient Egypt, and centuries later found themselves in 5th-century BC Greece.
The prophecy of the Delphic Oracle and a new love lead Noam to Athens. The great strategist Pericles and the mysterious Aspasia, Hippocrates, Alcibiades, Socrates and his students—returning to an unfamiliar and astonishing world, Noam makes amazing friends.
Before his eyes, sport, theater, philosophy, and democracy are born; Before his eyes, people learn to govern society, to reconcile the irreconcilable, but also to subjugate the individual to the crowd. Athens is filled with the light of happiness—but there will also be grief, and Noam will once again have to heal the wounds inflicted by human cruelty and love.
