The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel

"The Alchemyst is a contemporary fantasy which opens in modern day San Francisco when brother and sister, Josh and Sophie discover that the owner of the bookstore where Josh works is the immortal French alchemist, Nicholas Flamel. Flamel and his wife, Perenelle, are the guardians of the Book of Abraham which they have protected for centuries. This is a collection of the most powerful spells in the world. When Dr John Dee discovers the Flamels whereabouts, he attacks and snatches the book. Josh and Sophie intervene to help Flamel, but now they too are being hunted by Dee and creatures that predate humanity." em dillonscott.com

Todas as personagens são baseadas em figuras históricas e mitológicas. No entanto Nicholas e Perenelle Flamel existiram. Nicholas nasceu em Paris em 1330 e a sua casa ainda existe e é uma das mais antigas em Paris.

Durante as minhas pesquisas, fiquei a saber que um filme será feito pela New Line Cinema. Falta saber para quando e quem irá representar.
