Summary

The restless ruler of an obscure Central European state plots a coup against himself and escapes to Venice in search of "real" experience. There he falls in with a team of con-men and ends up, to his own surprise, impersonating himself. His journey through successive levels of illusion and reality teaches him much about the world, his own nature, and the paradoxes of the human condition.
