"Der Graf von Saint-Germain: Das Leben eines Alchimisten" by Gustav Berthold Volz is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and enigmatic persona of the infamous alchemist Saint-Germain, exploring his upbringing, adventures, and the myths that surrounded him, including his purported mastery of alchemical secrets and his extensive travels across Europe. At the start of the text, the author introduces the character of Saint-Germain, describing him as a notorious figure of the 18th century known for his adventurer's spirit and penchant for disguise. The narrative highlights the dubious origins and ever-mysterious nature of Saint-Germain's background, suggesting he could be a scion of nobility, a Portuguese Jew, or even a commoner with no notable lineage. The beginning sets the stage for a deeper exploration of his alchemical pursuits, his influence at royal courts, and the plethora of legends that formed around his life, ultimately painting a portrait of a man who thrived in both intrigue and deception.
