I nominate a modern classic
Simone de Beauvoir ' All men are mortal'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_de_Beauvoir
Spoiler
:
'All Men Are Mortal' is a captivating exemplum of the existentialist credo. A beautiful and accomplished your actress revives a downcast stranger at a French resort. He becomes thoroughy attached to her at first and confides a terrifying truth; he is immortal. At this point, the power in their relationship shifts. She can think of nothing greater than having her performances remembered forever. She, too, will then become immortal. But having been resuscitated into enjoying life again, this former medieval ruler starts breaking free from her grasp and all notions of morality.
I couldn't find it as ebook.
