The title character of this work tells a story about a Turkish astronomer whose discovery was initially ignored due to his silly Turkish costume. Another character in this novel is a railway switchman who describes how listless adult passengers are compared to their children. A devoted lamplighter is the only sympathetic adult out of the six encountered by the title character after he leaves his home, where he stops the spread of (*) baobab trees and falls in love with a rose. Ultimately, a snake bites and kills the title character, who earlier appreciated the drawings of the narrator, a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert.
