The opening of the book introduces the character of Bernard Hertzog, an enthusiastic scholar and chronicler who is deeply passionate about his homeland of Alsace and its history. On his way to investigate an archaeological find, he becomes lost in the woods, leading to a series of reflections about the past and his current predicament.
