Summary
The Book of Infinite Love recounts the life of Apollonius of Tyana, a Greek philosopher of the 1st century AD. 
BC who, guided by an intense thirst for wisdom, traveled to India and black Africa. Returning to Rome after
his exchanges with the Persians, Buddhists, Nubians and many others, he multiplied his teachings and
healings to the point of being considered by oracles and people as a divine man. By revealing his story,
Damis, his most faithful disciple, also describes his own journey. One test after another, he perceives that
everything in existence is not played out in the terms of men; that the Sun, the Moon, the stars,
the Earth, are not inanimate elements of a setting for the dramas of humans, nor resources to be
exploited for their comfort; that they require something from each, of which each alone has the secret,
but which each has forgotten - to the peril of all. Their adventures, rich in twists and turns, are the
sources of wisdom in perpetual motion. This Book of infinite love, which shows the extraordinary scope
of ancient spiritualities and rehabilitates one of its unjustly forgotten masters, is the true novel of
Antiquity. Dimensions 15 x 24 x 3.5cm
