InscrÃbete en LibraryThing para averiguar si este libro te gustará. Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. Uma história de terror simples; simpática mas soa datada, e um pouco abusiva de coincidências convenientes. Um elixir da longevidade em uma história de um casamento, em etapas: paixão unilateral, encontro, desagregamento, em primeira pessoa. ( ) Sad... What would you do if you had unknowingly taken an elixir to make you immortal? This is what our main character poses the question of. Working under the alchemist professor Cornelius Agrippa he stumbles upon a work of his in person form that the professor states will cure him of his infatuation with love. And after drinking half of the elixir our main character finds out that it does so much more. I can't imagine how it would be in the beginning stages of immortality. To stay young while everyone around you grows old and eventually dies. I can't imagine watching loved ones or even my husband in a situation like that. I guess death isn't for everyone but it is something that everyone must face. This uncanny and beautiful writing style comes straight to you from the notorious Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and, as I stated about her beloved Frankenstein novel, this one is simply a classic. Highly recommend. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
