Summary "L'hérésiarque et Cie" by Guillaume Apollinaire is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story seems to explore themes of religious dogma, identity, and existential musings through the lens of various characters, including a figure known as the Juif Errant (the Wandering Jew) and a modern heretic named Benedetto Orfei, whose unorthodox beliefs challenge established religious norms. The narrative juxtaposes historical and mythical elements with contemporary societal commentary, making for a rich tapestry of ideas and conflicts. At the start of the novel, the narrator recounts a visit to Prague where he encounters a mysterious old man who identifies himself as Isaac Laquedem, the Wandering Jew. This figure shares his centuries-long journey through various European cities, including tales of suffering and survival. The narrator's curiosity about Laquedem's identity sets the stage for a broader exploration of themes related to faith, tradition, and the quest for meaning. This encounter leads into discussions of heresy and personal convictions, particularly through the character of Benedetto Orfei, who has deviated from Catholic doctrine and is attempting to establish a new religious ideology. The opening establishes a blend of historical narrative with philosophical inquiry, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of belief and identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
