Conflict...

The main conflict in this book is between the Psychiatrist Jung and Pilgrim. Everyone is convinced that Pilgrim is delusional and insane because he thinks that he has lived through the ages. Several tests are done to Pilgrim and no hard evidence of his insanity can be found. In a further attempt to understand Pilgrim, Jung gets a hold of his journals and begins to read. He is baffled by what is written in the journals and how the dates go all the way back to ancient times. This becomes Jung’s obsession and takes over his life. After some time of trying to figure Pilgrim out, Jung starts to go insane himself. So far no one has been able to find a reasonable explanation for Pilgrims’ journals and claims of life, but one thing is for certain, Pilgrim IS NOT insane.
