Rooted in a few verses from an ancient book, this myth has transcended its origins to become the cornerstone of three major world faiths. Over time, it has evolved through art, philosophy, and science, serving as a mirror that reflects our deepest fears and desires. In his captivating journey, Stephen Greenblatt takes us on a voyage from ancient Babylonia to the lush forests of east Africa. Along the way, we encounter evolutionary biologists, fossilized ancestors, and engage in thoughtful discussions about morality and marriage in Milton's \"Paradise Lost.\" We also ponder whether the Fall represents an unvarnished truth or a fictional allegory. This profound exploration of human origins and destiny offers a unique perspective on our shared history and invites us to reflect on the intricacies of our existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 326g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 192 x 126 x 28 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780099587224\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Greenblatt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101907349754,"sku":"9780099587224","price":10.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9d321c28f34548894d170e04bffc5b4d.jpg?v=1626146273","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/rise-and-fall-of-adam-and-eve-the-story-that-created-us","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
