...Realities in Amber. Like Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, the ancestor of most German philosophical novels, The Demons is a search for reality. The title refers to a medieval manuscript-discovered in the course of the story and included in toto-that implies that each man's demon is a second, obsessive, false reality, which he must learn to discard or to unify with his true self...

Vaughan suspects that the same thing has happened to the works of others-including Bizet, whose manuscript he had a chance to examine briefly in Paris...
