This book is about two friends. Both are Hasidim. The older one is named Shlomo, and the younger one is Shmulik. They tell each other about what they've dreamed, make scientific discoveries, and get really deep into philosophy. Shlomo does not hide the grief he has experienced from the Hasidic community and speaks of his attempt to do a good deed for himself and others like him who are suffering.
The book includes four novels: Well-Meaning Frankenstein, Dialogues About Stones, World of Acts, Dreams. The same main characters act in all stories.
Well-Meaning Frankenstein. Shlomo suffers a great grief, for which he is himself to blame, but sincerely repentant. He knows the story of Frankenstein, an evil and vengeful monster created by the imagination of a writer. Shlomo intends to become someone like Frankenstein, but kind and well-meaning.
Dialogues About Stones. Hasid Shlomo made a discovery in science: he found that stones can think and feel. Shlomo's story is logical and convincing - so it seems to him.
World of Acts. The hasids gathered at the house of their mentor after a great deal of drinking on the holiday of Purim. On the whole, the story is a jocular imitation of Plato's work The Symposium.
Dreams. Hasids Shlomo and Shmulik tell each other their dreams. Incredible adventures happen to the heroes of the narrative in their night visions.
