If you were given eternal life, would it be a blessing or a curse?
In the Middle Ages, Fosca, the monarch of an Italian city-state, was a diligent and determined ruler. However, he felt that his short life was insufficient for governing a country and longed for immortality. He stumbled upon an elixir of immortality, which freed him from the threat of death. He triumphantly ascended to power, making his country the dominant power in Italy. However, this, in turn, led to an invasion by France.
He felt that a divided nation could not endure and that a unified universe was essential. He therefore surrendered his country to the Holy Roman Empire and became the emperor's advisor. However, instead of establishing a superpower as he had envisioned, the emperor was preoccupied with suppressing rebellions, ultimately leading to the empire's disintegration. Fosca later traveled to America and Canada, and participated in the French Revolution and the British labor movement. Ultimately, he grasped the true meaning of life...
Is immortality a blessing or a curse? If you possessed the power of immortality, what kind of life would you lead? This ingenious premise is the premise of the novel "All Are Mortal." Breaking free from the constraints of mortality reveals the infinite possibilities of human destiny, yet also brings to mind its limitations.
