The story of Jacob Stahl. begun by the author in "The Early History of Jacob Stahl," published in 1911 and continued in "A Candidate for the Truth" 1912, is completed in this volume. It carries the hero to a point which might be looked upon as a successful culmination of his career, but which is in reality only a starting point.

As the author says, "He is ever at the beginning of life, reaching out towards those eternal values that are ever beyond his grasp.... He has not been threatened by that decay of mind which slowly petrifies and finally kills those who fall into the habit of fixed opinions."
