Description:

Paracelsus was part alchemist, part father of modern chemistry. He was a charlatan and a genius, an adventurer and a model for later versions of the Faust legend, such as Goethe's or Thomas Mann's. His life was as eventful and bizarre as an 18th-century picaresque novel. Philip Ball tells his story.
