Idealism presents more than a new way of writing but a whole new ideal for writing; to create a whole new spirit in art and within the artist. The moral purpose of this book is to make art a moral crusade, to make the goal of art a holy one, to make the artist a holy warrior, to make the artist's mission a divine mission.

"Only a love worth dying for is a love worth living for." By this ideal a man and a woman love and live. In a society which outlaws love and makes following one's own heart a crime this causes a fateful collision between the two lovers and that society, forcing the two lovers in following the ideal of their hearts to sign in their own blood a suicide-love pact. The forces of society then comes after them to make them fulfill the terms of their pact, writing a heroic/tragic epic.
