My First Two Thousand Years

"My First Two Thousand Years, the Autobiography of the Wandering Jew" is a sprawling epic of historical fantasy and philosophical inquiry that reimagines the ancient legend of the eternal wanderer. Narrated by Isaac Laquedem, a man cursed-or perhaps gifted-with immortality after an encounter during the Crucifixion, the narrative traverses two millennia of human history. From the courts of Roman emperors to the heights of the Renaissance and into the modern era, the protagonist witnesses the rise and fall of civilizations, the evolution of religions, and the persistent follies of mankind.

Authors George Sylvester Viereck and Paul Eldridge weave a rich tapestry of eroticism, intellectual debate, and cultural critique. The work serves as both a grand adventure and a psychological study of a man who cannot die, exploring themes of love, power, and the search for meaning in a world of constant change. By blending historical fact with mythological invention, "My First Two Thousand Years, the Autobiography of the Wandering Jew" offers a unique perspective on the human condition through the eyes of an observer who has seen it all. This classic of speculative fiction remains a provocative exploration of the Jewish experience and the collective memory of Western civilization.
