长生药水究竟有什么魔力能让一个人不顾亲情、甘心堕落、三度犯下杀人恶行?
巴尔扎克的短篇小说《长生药水》借着对唐璜一生的描述,将社会的现实,人们对于金钱物质的追求,以及对于宗教的盲目崇拜展现得淋漓尽致。唐璜为了得到巨额的财产而迫切期望父亲死期的到来,在宴会上,与所谓的朋友抱怨、突如其来的父亲的死讯以及长生药水的出现,使得唐璜对以后的人生又有了新的计划。于是,在弥留之际,他企图利用儿子的孝心重生,结果却并不如愿。小说完全展现了传统道德的泯灭以及资本主义社会的世态炎凉。
The elixir of life, also known as elixir of immortality and sometimes equated with the philosopher's stone, is a mythical potion that, when drunk from a certain cup at a certain time, supposedly grants the drinker eternal life and/or eternal youth. The elixir of life was also said to be able to create life. Related to the myths of Thoth and Hermes Trismegistus, both of whom in various tales are said to have drunk "the white drops" (liquid gold) and thus achieved immortality, it is mentioned in one of the Nag Hammadi texts.[1] Alchemists in various ages and cultures sought the means of formulating the elixir.
