Wofufuza, "The Seeker," was named by his high chief father according to Bantuland tradition of 2,000 years ago, and his life followed that tradition, as he becomes what his name signifies. We find him discontented with his good life, and so finally he undertakes a search for a mysterious something that he is missing.
On his trek, Wofufuza passes through a succession of different cultures, each them inferior to that of his home, for they all operate on false premises. He is thinking about returning to Bantuland, when he comes to a place called Palestine.
His life is forever changed.
