Summary/Abstract: The underworld is all about the parallel, unofficial and ignored existence of the human being. The art was full of antiofficial, anticentrist and antiunification movements. The lack of a content hides a perfectly symmetrical structure. The novel starts with a prologue and ends with an epilogue, while the chapters are set in between but in order opposite the the chronological one. Between the chapters themselves one may find three moments referring to a certain Manx Martin. The basic idea was to preserve the mystery by not naming things. The novel thus offers an original and authentic esthetic experience. Yet the novel permits only a subjective experience which is to take place at the individual level.
