Prologue: the creature that does not exist. The most human of them all. Divine yet human. The creature from paradise with a hundred faces. In quest of the unicorn. Post scriptum
'First appearing to Matti Megged in Paul Rotterdam's drawings, where it was hidden, absent. the Unicorn inspired Matti Megged to undertake a quest for this creature that Rilke called "the animal that never was." Tracking it through art and literature, Megged sights the Unicorn in work after work, from ancient Oriental myths to 20th-century sculpture, from British heraldry to Symbolist poetry.'
