To live long -- or even forever -- is one of humanity's most powerful dreams. In this unique survey of longevity's manifestations in religion, folk tra-ditions, science, literature and art, Lucian Boia demonstrates both how the human drive to live longer has persisted throughout the ages, and the ways in which science and the prevailing ideologies of the day have altered man's perception of what it entails. Far from being a contemporary obsession, Boia's wide-ranging and informative study reveals longevity's own history.
