Vizier of the Two-horned Alexander

To find the fountain of youth ? what would that entail, to live forever, to pass through many generations, without dying? Would it be a blessing or a curse? We are taken on an amazing journey, as the man originally known as Kroudhr, Vizier to the king Alexander, tells his bewildered American guest this engaging story. This is an intelligent, mature account of the problems of life without end on Earth, the practical problems, the advantages, the odd coincidences, the distorted view of time. The Vizier of the Two-Horned Alexander, unlike so many other accounts, does not play up the false heroics, but rather focusses on the constantly unfolding situations, overlapping and shifting, that confront the man who cannot die.
