Jacob's life changed in a single moment when, as a toddler, he walked
through his bedroom door only to find himself in the office of a
British officer in Capetown, 1870. This would begin a thirty-year
journey which would take him from ancient to future civilizations, and
innumerable places and times in between. Through all of his travels,
Jacob seeks for the purpose of his predicament, the significance of his
life with all of its joys and suffering, loneliness and impermanence.
