Maria Theresia taaler - Jaan Tepp

A magical-realist journey around the Mediterranean during the Napoleonic era. El Greco's unknown painting sets in motion the tense relationship between student and master, taking him from the Amalfi monastery across the Mediterranean to the slave market of Tunis, wandering into Sufi mysticism and following in the footsteps of Mark the Evangelist. Escaping the subtle intrigues of the Tunis court and the shadowy assassin on his trail, across Africa and the naval battle of Aboukir, he reaches a brotherhood hidden in the greenery of Ephesus. This is a book about love and superstition and the invisible reality around us.
