In every place, he made different experiences, discovering people, languages, and cultures, but in every place he went, he finished up by being alone. In the middle of the story, he fell in love with an English girl and tasted many terrible experiences (different jobs, a prison experience, a famous writer experience). All his experiences end by many failures. He is a selfish man guided only to one truth: his individual talent. It is because of such selfishness that he was lost.
