Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, PC used to be an English creator and flesh presser. He served as a Whig MP from 1831 to 1841 and a Conservative MP from 1851 to 1866.
Before Orlando, before The Highlander, before the Elves in Lord of the Rings, before any and all fictional immortals, there used to be Zanoni. Through magical alchemical elixirs and the mysterious rites of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood, Zanoni has been gifted with immortal life; he chooses to sacrifice this gift for the affection of an attractive and gifted young woman, and the circle of relatives he wishes to have. At the side of other works of Edward Bulwer Lytton, such as Vril:The Power of the Coming Race, Zanoni’s deep archetypal and symbolic story has the sort of ring of Truth, that it influenced the New Thought and Theosophy movements of it’s time, and in turn, has set the stage for the up to date New Age movement, and resurgance of interest within the subjects of alchemy and physical immortality.
