The Alkahest is a masterful study of a man’s obsession and the effect it has, not only on him, but on his family. M. Claes has an extremely happy home life with his wife and four children until something grabs his imagination and he begins to study chemistry. Suddenly, even though he is physically at home, in his lab, his family feels almost abandoned.
