Una de las novelas más originales y absorbentes que he leído en los últimos meses. Antonio J. Ubero. La opinión de Murcia. Recién instalada en la antigua vicaría de un desangelado pueblucho de Inglaterra, la joven Eileen descubre en el sótano de la casa un manuscrito redactado tres décadas antes por el anterior inquilino, el reverendo Smith, en el que éste, además de recoger sus experiencias personales, da cuenta cabal de sus reveladoras investigaciones sobre alquimia. Poco a poco, Eileen irá adentrándose no sólo en las circunstancias y personajes que en el pasado rodearon la vida de Smith y ahora rondan la suya propia, sino en el conocimiento gradual de los procesos alquímicos y de su inusitado poder simbólico y transformador. «Mercurius es un libro escrito tanto para esclarecer como para en¬tretener. Es posiblemente la narración más explícita sobre el arte alquímico que jamás se haya publicado.» The Literary Review «Es raro encontrar a un autor que pueda explicar con tanta autoridad este tema, cuya existencia sólo es conocida por unos pocos iniciados. Es un libro único por lo provechoso que resulta. No tiene rival.» Fortean Times

When Eileen retreats from an unhappy love affair to a deserted house in the country, she finds herself drawn to the researches of a previous occupant, the Reverend Smith, who combined his pastoral duties with scientific activities. The author also wrote "The Rapture" and "The Serpent's Circle".

Paperback. "Know this: I, Mercurius, have set down a full, true and infallible account of the Great Work. But I give you fair warning that unless you seek the true philosophical gold and not the gold of the vulgar; unless your heart is fixed with unbending intent on the true Stone of the Philosophers, unless you are steadfast in your quest, abiding by God's laws in all faith and humility and eschewing all vanity, conceit, falsehood, intemperance, pride, lust and faintheartedness, read no further lest I prove fatal to you. REVIEWS: 'Mercurius is a book written at least as much to elucidate as to entertain. It is probably the most explicit account of the alchemical art ever published - it presents a strong argument for the perfectibility of man and against the species of bloodless asceticism which drives a wedge between spiritual and corporeal love.' THE LITERARY REVIEW 'Each of its 479 mystical pages needs to be closely read, for the dramatic turns in this extraordinary alchemical novel are so well hidden that one dare not skip a single sentence for fear of missing an essential key to the developing mystery. It is rare to find an author who can expound with such authority on a subject whose very existence is only to a few initiates. This book is uniquely useful. There is no rival to it.'
