Summary/Abstract: The novel, although in appearance seems symmetrical, proves to be an intricate maze of alternations of time segments. Moments of the penetration and consolidation of communism in the cultural muscovite structures alternates with those occurred almost two thousand years ago, the trial and conviction of Ha-Nozri (Iisus Hristos) to death by crucifixion. The time of the narration is placed during The Holy Week, and lasts only a few days, from Wednesday to Saturday. The novel focuses on the existential issues filtered through the character’s own conscience. The significances are inferred from the conflicts of ideas dominating the content giving it a satirical tint. The discrete, persistent jewelry is captivating and draws the reader’s attention to the philosophical under layer completed by the drama of the intellectual seeking for knowledge. The beauty of this structural filigree sustained by outdate triggers a permanent reflexive attitude in the reader.
