Have you ever wanted to be immortal? To go through your years and appear to be a young man or woman, but with an old soul? Yeah, that's what this book is about.

Unfortunately, everyone has to pay for their actions, and he paid dearly. Loved this book a lot; Oscar Wilde is one if the best writers I know about.
