Since the eleventh century, the Spinoza family has passed down, from father to son, a secret manuscript containing the recipe for immortality. Now, after thirty-six generations, the last descendant of this long and illustrious chain, Ari Spinoza, doesn't have a son to whom to entrust the manuscript. From his deathbed, he begins his narrative, hoping to save his lineage from oblivion.
After flying over the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment, the French Revolution, two world wars and The Holocaust, and the rise of communism, I did wish for a more profound destination, but The Elixir of Immortality works as an amusing panorama of European history through the many eyes of one prodigious Jewish family.
