Il Lago della Vita (Lake of Life)

Il Lago della Vita (Lake of Life)
Un eccentrico miliardario americano invia una spedizione in Africa alla ricerca delle acque contenute in un mitico lago, in grado di donare l’immortalità. Dopo tutta una serie di peripezie in una terra separata dal resto del pianeta da una cortina mortale, la spedizione arriva sulle sponde del Lago della Vita che effettivamente contiene le acque che donano l’immortalità ma, al momento di diventare immortali, i protagonisti del romanzo… Un libro piacevole, dove l’avventu/a è profusa a piene mani, non senza una delineazione psicologica dei vari personaggi assolutamente notevole.
