Seis historias exploran la historia del dinero, cada una en un marco histórico particular y basada en una personalidad fascinante: Ptolomeo Soter, teniente de Alejandro Magno; Jacobo della Quercia, escultor sienés del siglo XIV; el inquisidor español del siglo XV Tomás de Torquemada; Jacob Fugger el rico, el banquero de Augsburgo del siglo XVI; Nicolas d'Oresme, matemático y filósofo francés del siglo XIV; sir Thomas Gresham, matemático y banquero inglés del siglo XVI y Leonardo Fibonacci, matemático Pisán del siglo XIII. Las seis historias combinan pasajes narrativos y cartas escritas al autor por amigos o conocidos más o menos probables, con razones más o menos probables para relatar acontecimientos más o menos probables. El resultado es un interminable juego de espejos, que mezcla realidad y fantasía en una narrativa densa y ambigua, con referencias biográficas reales y ficticias para dar a la historia sustancia y fluidez hasta comprometer la vanidad del lector. Imposible separar la verdad de la falsedad. Hay, sin embargo, un hilo escarlata en cada una de estas historias: el papel central del dinero, peculio que puede cambiar el curso de la historia y el destino humano, acaso el de generaciones enteras.
