AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'"Your life will end on the twentieth of March next year. I cannot tell you how or where. But I can tell you that it will end."

'So begins an extraordinary journey for Abraham Rosen, middle-aged photographer, who travels in the shadow of this prediction to India, Sri Lanka and England to gradually unravel the secrets which haunt him. His journey is also documented in 40 photos which appear at the end of the book.' (From the publisher's website.)
