In 1212, two groups of children from Germany and France respond to an unknown, inexplicable voice calling them to go and visit the tomb of the Savior in a city they know nothing about except its name: Jerusalem. The children's crusade is accompanied by a polyphonic choir that includes voices from all walks of life and religion. Each of the voices examines the crusade for a moment and tries to understand its puzzling nature.

Marcel Schwab , the nineteenth-century French virtuoso, author of the masterpiece Imaginary Life and whom Borges considered his spiritual father, looks back centuries at an esoteric crusade that actually happened and breathes new life into it, strange and wondrous. As usual , Schwab weaves history and fiction into a legendary and timeless work that echoes the past and the future to fuse them together.
