The narrator is an urbane, cynical and egocentric Italian
journalist with little interest in the truth, though not as shabby
as his companion, a professor of politics. The journalist meets
people across the spectrum of ideas, and the book concerns not just
political events, but how people interrelate within a social
context, Scotland's place in Europe and how Europeans interpret
each other. The Italian encounters a range of Europeans: a
Ukrainian nationalist, a Russian religious guru, an eccentric
Estonian, an Algerian refugee, a Lithuanian, a dying man and many
Scots from different walks of life. The narrator falls in love with
a Scottish campaigner. Beneath the urbane veneer, he's a complex
mix of the old-fashioned and the fashionable, and the relationship
soon encounters problems. The Italian, like Voltaire's Candide,
starts with a mindset incapable of bringing him either
understanding or lasting contentment, and ends the book with some
understanding and awareness, insufficient for the elusive happiness
we all seek but sufficient for a perfectly acceptable human
existence.
