Hardcover. First edition. First printing [stated]. [8], 374, [2] p. Illustrations. This brilliant debut novel takes a young reporter from his small town paper to the heart of an international smuggling ring, centuries old, that amasses the alchemical artifacts that lead to eternal life. From The Economist website: "Jon Fasman covers politics, business and culture in the American South. He first joined The Economist as a cities guide editor in 2003. In addition to his work for The Economist, he is also the author of two novels, both published by The Penguin Press: "The Geographer's Library", which was a New York Times bestseller in 2005 and has been translated into more than a dozen languages; and "The Unpossessed City", which was published in autumn of 2008 and was a finalist for the New York Public Library's Young Lions Fiction Award." From an on-line posted review: "Do you want to live forever? Al-Idrisi, whose colorful resume included stints as the librarian of Baghdad and royal geographer to King Roger II of Sicily in the twelfth century, certainly did.mugglers [were].determined to exploit the secret of al-Idrisi's long life.Paul Tomm, a journalist.[whose research]reveals a history of jewel thefts, unexplained acts of violence, and maximum-security locks on the professor's office, he is quickly convinced that the dead man was a more dangerous and complicated figure than he appeared. THE GEOGRAPHER'S LIBRARY alternates chapters concerned with Paul's investigation with chapters detailing the objects from al-Idrisi's collection, .Paul meets a cast of characters.Alchemy, .concerns transformations of all types and applications. Wealth and immortality are just two of the rewards for those who learn alchemy's secrets, and the danger to Paul grows as he gets closer and closer to discovering the truth.That seems to be the lesson: human frailty is so inescapable that it always finds a way to circumvent immortality, and the few who are given such a gift still find ways to self-destruct."
