I always loved novels with historical background. I am perhaps nostalgic about other times and Marguerite Yourcenar is satisfying my wishes in this novel. I loved this story of Zenon Ligre in his attempt to search for the Filosopher's Stone. Perhaps you will be anxious to read it and to find out if he succeded.
