The book is structured as three encyclopedias (The Red Book for Christianity, The Green Book for Islam, and The Yellow Book for Judaism).

Furthermore, Pavić released the novel in two versions—Male and Female—which differ by only one crucial paragraph.

A simple web search will yield results for PDFs, mostly hosted on file-sharing sites (PDF Drive, Z-Library mirrors, or Serbian literary forums).
