Il libro presenta la storia dell'alchimia e dei suoi sviluppi nei secoli, partendo dalle ricerche dei saggi cinesi e indiani e dei primi colonizzatori della Mesopotamia, per proseguire con la scuola di Alessandria e con la nascita delle teorie dei filosofi ionici, per poi illustrare in dettaglio la comparsa del concetto di atomo alla base della concezione della materia dei filosofi della Magna Grecia e la successiva visione filosofica del mondo e delle idee di Platone e di Aristotele. Il racconto prosegue con una ampia descrizione del contributo allo sviluppo dell'alchimia degli alchimisti arabi e mussulmani, di quello degli scolastici e degli umanisti del Medioevo, per continuare con quello degli enciclopedisti e perfino dei moderni alchimistici, fino a quello degli ultimi epigoni della 'Grande Opera', comparsi in Europa e soprattutto negli Stati Uniti e nell'America latina nell'Ottocento e nel Novecento. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… This book focuses on the history of alchemy and its developments over the centuries: from the research of the Chinese and Indian sages and the first colonizers of Mesopotamia, through the school of Alexandria and the birth of the theories of the Ionian philosophers, to the appearance of the concept of atom at the base of the conception of the matter of the philosophers of Magna Graecia and the subsequent philosophical view of the world and of the ideas of Plato and Aristotle. The story continues with a broad description of the contribution to the development of alchemy of Arab and Muslim alchemists, that of the scholastics and humanists of the Middle Ages, and continues with the work of the encyclopedists and of modern alchemists, up to that of the last epigones of the 'Great Work ' who appeared in Europe and especially in the United States and Latin America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.]
