Roma 1634. Il pontefice Urbano VIII riceve una lettera misteriosa: l'autore sostiene di volergli rivelare la chiave per decifrare i geroglifici e, forse, accedere così al sapere originario che Adamo avrebbe tramandato ai suoi discendenti. Il segreto sarebbe custodito nella trascrizione di un'antica stele perduta. Per evitare che cada nelle mani sbagliate, l'uomo ha smembrato il manoscritto e ne ha celato le varie parti dietro una serie di enigmi. Il papa si rivolge così al suo uomo più geniale, il gesuita Athanasius Kircher, inventore, illusionista e studioso.

Decisa a voltare pagina, Alessandra parte insieme a sua figlia Diana, con la speranza di ricominciare una nuova vita in mezzo alla natura.

La desvalida princesa que necesita un aguerrido príncipe que la rescate; una boda como el único final feliz posible para la protagonista... Son ejemplos de la renuncia personal, de la supresión de los deseos propios, de la promesa de salvación. Una trampa ampliamente compartida sobre la supuesta y verdadera naturaleza femenina. Maria Murnau, más conocida como feminista ilustrada, sabe mucho de esto y consagra su obra a luchar contra los microorganismos con los que tienen que lidiar las mujeres a diario.
