In the pages of this book you will discover extensive information about the history of alchemy and its methods, fascinating stories about the extraordinary life of the famous Masters and how much their influence was on the modern era. Based on a lot of historical evidence confirming the reality of the Philosopher's Stone and the transmutation of metals, the author allows the reader to answer the question posed by him himself: so what is alchemy - a relic of the science of a certain civilization that disappeared from the face of the Earth even before the Flood or a symbol of the process of spiritual comprehension, where the alchemist himself personifies both the primacy and the hearth for the accomplishment of the Great Deed?
