In 1920 he withdrew from business, as he wanted to see the world. In 1928, after losing most of his money, he wandered from asylum to asylum, no one being able to figure out his illness.After meeting the narrator several times, in the end Gog gave him the sheets of paper from his personal journal, wrapped in silk, dated only by location and day and month, without a year. The narrator never found Gog again, so he decided to translate and publish the journal, arranged chronologically as best as he could, not as a memoir or work of art, but more as material for the study of a person that the narrator deemed frightening and symptomatic for the problems of the modern world.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The book is divided into over 70 chapters, all of them (except the first) being Gog's journal entries. Here he recounts his thoughts, his meetings with famous people and with intellectuals and charlatans with weird ideas that pester him for money for their outlandish projects.
