The story revolves around the character of Benjamin Rathery, a philosophical and humorous man who serves as both a doctor and a journalist. The narrative explores themes of life's absurdity, the nature of suffering, and the pursuit of happiness amidst struggle. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Benjamin's musings about the futility of life and the inevitability of suffering. He reflects on his various professions, relationships, and the disdain he holds for established norms, such as marriage and societal expectations. Benjamin's personality shines through his engaging dialogue and witty remarks, especially regarding his reluctance toward commitment and the absurdities of existence. He is living with his family, where his eccentric character is further highlighted by stories involving his attempts to navigate his love life, particularly through humorous interactions about marriage with his relatives and friends. The opening sets the stage for a comedic yet insightful journey into Benjamin's life and the relationships he forms along the way.
