Ozar is the first book in the pentalogy, The World in Nowhereness. The book's first part, titled OZAR, is the voyage toward God, but the voyage starts with the journey inward through the mystical traveler himself. After the mystical traveler encounters Homer and speaks to him, Homer advises him to continue his voyage in the direction of Shakespeare. Thus, the book's second part, Shakespeare in Cosmos, continues this voyage. The travelers in a cosmic ship land on Planet Zena, where children of 10 years are more intelligent than the most outstanding geniuses on Earth. Eventually, they meet the Chief of Children, also called Ozar. At one point, Ozar shows them a little box containing all the secrets of the Cosmos they resolved.
