The theft of a very precious musical instrument, a violin belonging to an indecipherable Maharajah and charged with an intensely sensual sound, is silenced by the seriousness of some Italian historical events in the seventies and soon forgotten. But some thirty years later, a mysterious character asks the now acquitted lutist, Faithless Colliodoro, to craft an instrument with the same peculiar features.
As in all the erotic novels by
La Novella Orchidea, the reader is led to discover the vicissitudes in which daily impulses acquire different smells and flavours, right up to the final liberation from that mask, demanded by society and created through hypocrisy and deception of individuals, for a complete restitution of one's senses and of a stolen dignity.

The above-mentioned craftsman, perhaps unjustly and too hurriedly accused of stealing the precious instrument, was acquitted in the end due to lack of evidence, in the wake of a trial that left everyone dissatisfied: the Maharajah, who had lost his violin forever, and Faithless, continually pointed to as morally responsible for what had happened, though innocent by law. From that moment on the lutist failed to avoid ignominy and rumors that tormented him continually, without abandoning him for a moment. As has already been said, given the historical significance of that same day, the case of the stolen violin (though of inestimable value) was considered of secondary importance, and soon those who had been keeping abreast of the news regarding the disgraceful theft forgot that vile action committed to the detriment of the Indian Prince.
About thirty years after the foul deed (year more, year less), a very distinguished-looking man appeared at the workshop of Mr Faithless, by that time white-haired, asserting that he came from very far awa [...]
