In the twentieth century, there lived a brilliant polymath who wandered the world, a vagabond of immense intellect who taught the likes of Emmanuel Levinas and Elie Wiesel. He was a master of many studies, from theology and philosophy to mathematics and the sciences. His name, while debated among those who know of his existence, is unknown to the world; he known only as Mr. Shoshani.
