Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Captivating - I have read a few books from this author and she continues to excel...this book has really blown me away. I have just read it whilst travelling in the central balkans and it just captured so much of my imagination and tuned me into my surroundings...now I want to explore the rhodopes and so much more of these natural landscapes. There is so much to take in from folk tales, ethnicities, history, magic, herbalism, connections and nature...and all captured beautifully in writing. Really inspirational and grounding in a world where we often are so disconnected from our roots and the surrounding beauty of our environment. Thank you. Review: an inspiring tapestry of interwoven disciplines - I am a great fan of Kapka Kassabova's writing and in this her latest, she does not disappoint. This is the most ambitious work so far. Its scope and breadth is awe inspiring drawing in material from anthropology, psychology, botany, and alchemy yet weaving them together in such a skilled and subtle way that they become like illuminating threads in her often poetic beautifully written prose. Her ability to evoke the atmosphere of a little known corner of Europe has already been more than adequately demonstrated in her previous books but in this one she conveys the sadness emptiness and despair of a disenfranchised people, while simultaneously painstakingly recreating a disappearing world in which plant knowledge and harmony play a central role and the whole being more than the sum of its parts is quite exhilarating. The fact that she as a Bulgarian expat living in Scotland can keep one foot in and one out allows an unusual depth to the writing. This is not a light read but rewards come to those who persist! Wonderful and magical. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 64,729 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 205 in Anthropology & Sociology Biographies 510 in Travel Writing (Books) 592 in Geography (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (59) | | Dimensions | 13 x 2.5 x 19.8 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1529920477 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1529920475 | | Item weight | 281 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 400 pages | | Publication date | 8 Feb. 2024 | | Publisher | Vintage | ## Images ![Elixir: A Voyage into Alchemy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-oo129ZNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captivating *by J***5 on 9 July 2024* I have read a few books from this author and she continues to excel...this book has really blown me away.
