Avicenna and I is a love saga spanning here and the hereafter; it is a journey of spirits toward immortality. Together two lovers explore the city of Hamadan in northwest of Iran, one of the oldest residences of civilization, where the tomb of one of history's most remarkable thinkers, Avicenna, lies. To ascend from what they are to what they dream to be, the lovers seek and find the spirit of Avicenna.
From him - the prince of medicine and the leading wise man - they learn how to heal the body, the mind, the spirit and even love, and how to tend to a wounded nature. They discover the path to immortality.
The reader is invited to view the mind and the universe, intuition and reason, science and faith, and life and death with a profoundly new understanding. The trials and tribulations of the characters, even history, on their transcendental journey are recounted with a pen searching for the beginning and the end of everything - for the answers God never created. So humans must invent the answers as we have invented many things God did not create. This novel is a chapter in the book of answers.
