Eternal Life – Can One Live Forever?

Angelica Öhrn & Cecilia Pettersson

When great-grandfather Gunnar passes away, it shakes her world. Questions swirl:
What really happens when someone dies?
Do we simply vanish? Or is there a paradise where we live on forever, like great-grandmother believes? Could science one day stop death altogether?

Eternal Life – Can One Live Forever? invites readers on a fascinating journey through history, belief systems, and cutting-edge science. From ancient Egyptian mummification rituals to modern cryonics labs in the US, where the deceased are frozen in hopes of future revival, this richly illustrated book explores humanity’s timeless yearning to conquer death.

Perfect for children who ponder life’s biggest questions, this book blends spiritual curiosity with scientific discovery, making it an ideal read for both classroom and family discussions.
