Na dole okładki: Internationally best-selling author of "1947".

Bibliografia, netografia na stronach 415-419.

Winner of the August Prize, an intricate weave of documents, substantive narrative, and emotional commentary that centers on a young Jewish refugee's friendship with the future founder of IKEA.

With thorough research, including personal files initiated by the predecessor to today's Swedish Security Service (SÄPO) and more than 500 letters, Elisabeth Åsbrink illustrates how Swedish society was infused with anti-Semitism and how families are shattered by war and asylum politics.

Na górze okładki: " A Dan Brown novel done right, Full of wit and mystery..."-Kirkus Reviews (starred).

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.
