Jan Němec tells photographer František Drtikol's life as a novel about light, images, and consciousness. This biographical panorama leads from the mining environment of Příbram through Munich Art Nouveau and a Prague studio to a spiritual search.

Artistic achievement coexists with relationship failures and financial difficulties. Light connects photography's technical foundations with knowledge and spiritual transformation. The second edition retains an experimental form that reconstructs a real person's inner world through fiction.
