An unusual novel which Dr. Dahesh had composed in less than 24 hours spread over 12 days (from the third to the fourteenth of January 1946).
The hero, a Dinar(a golden coin), by virtue of its transference from one hand to another roams several countries for almost a century. It wanders into cities, villages, palaces, cottages, monasteries, nighclubs; it travels in the air and dives to the bottom of the seas; it accompanies good and bad people, kings and commons; it listens to animals and witnesses two national liberation movements in India and England as well as two World Wars and later a third World War! Above all, it records its observations with the genius of a spellbinding storyteller and renders its judgments with the wisdom of a philosopher.
The book is a summary statement of the views of the author regarding society and its corruption, clergymen, politics, human rights, courts of justice, money, love, psychology of wars, art and literature. Underlying his harsh critical attitude is the author’s deep desire for reform.

Do you like to explore a strange world where the body length of its inhabitants is about a hundred or two hundred meters (33 or 66 feet) but the width of their chests does not exceed three centimeters (~1 inch)? Where a bird is larger than a whale in size and more intelligent than humans on Earth. Where chicken is the size of three elephants...
This book is full of unusual comic imaginings depicting the rich exciting imagination of the author.
