    About this ebook

    "A Night in the Luxembourg" combines philosophy, religion, and art. It's a philosophical tale, written as a book in a book, telling the story of a man who makes a semi-magical travel accompanied by a divine personality, similar to the embodiment of Jesus Christ. The protagonist visits earthly places like the Luxembourg Gardens, which transform into a piece of paradise, where the heroes have conversations on different matters. The book is perfect for those wishing to live through the intellectual renaissance.
