Although she repeatedly expressed her feelings to him, Dick remained unmoved. After returning to Paris, his loyalty to his wife Nicole seemed unwavering, but in fact he was involuntarily attracted to Rosemary. In order to get rid of his fantasy about Rosemary, Dick began to write a monograph, trying to be as gentle and considerate as possible to Nicole, who had relapsed into hysteria and was still mentally unstable. While on vacation in the Alps, he met his former friend Franz and used part of his wife's considerable fortune to set up a clinic with him. At this time, Nicole received a letter accusing Dick of adultery with a patient. Her condition worsened and she deliberately crashed the car during an outing. Dick was extremely depressed and went on vacation alone to relax. On the way, he met Rosemary by chance, but only realized that their short-lived love was irretrievable.

Later, he was invited to a party and found that the attendees all had narrow nationalist views, and his anti-war remarks were reprimanded, making him feel even more lonely. When he returned home, he met the bar girl Hermina and gained sensual joy. After Hermina introduced him, he met the musician Pablo and the girl Maria. He forgot all his worries and worries in the music and sensual enjoyment. But when he saw Hermina getting close to Pablo, he became "wolfish" and killed Hermina out of jealousy.

This edition is the Yang version of the Khazar Dictionary, which is different from the Yin version in 11 lines (according to paper book layout). It is also accompanied by a geographical map of the Khazar Khanate, a map of the characters of the Khazar Khanate, and six Jewish Halevi poems. "Khazar Dictionary", "the first novel of the 21st century". Khazar is a kingdom that existed in the Byzantine era. The "Khazar Dictionary" has always recorded the history of this kingdom that once existed and then declined. This "Khazar Dictionary" is divided into three parts: the Red Book (Christianity), the Green Book (Islam) and the Judaism (Yellow Book). It synthesizes the historical facts recorded by each of these three religions, and is recorded in the form of a dictionary. It does not use chronological processing, but records in alphabetical order. But after all, it is not a dictionary. Every name and event records the story and history of that name. Judging from the "data" reflected in the dictionary, the three books record events in three periods, forming a 3x3 matrix (3 may be a symbol of the Trinity). The characters in this book are constantly reincarnated, or traveling back and forth through time and space. In a relationship between three people, two people "entrust each other with dreams", and through dreams, these people travel through time and space. Russian critic Savelevoi believes that the Khazar Dictionary enables the author to "join the ranks of contemporary literary masters such as Marquez, Borges, Cortázar and Eco."
