Publisher's Synopsis
The possession of power, no matter how enormous, does not bring the knowledge how to use it. Raphael, a failed writer, deep in debt, and unrequited in love, is about to take a suicidal plunge into the Seine River. Just in time, he discovers the Magic Skin in an antiquity shop. Its supernatural powers grant every wish but it extracts a terrible toll! This parable depicts the malaise of 19th century France.
