The story about Adam and Eve modestly occupies about fifty lines in the Scriptures, but he is fraught with amazing paradoxes: a man and a woman born of adults and not experiencing a shame of nudity, speaking snakes, a tree, the fruits of which give the knowledge of good and evil. This story, full of unthinkable scenes and events, has haunted philosophers and thinkers for centuries - it was analyzed, discussed and interpreted - literally and allegorically.
In this book, Stephen Greenblatt - Doctor of Philosophy and Professor of Humanities - conducts the reader from the first ancient stories about the creation of a person to all the well -known Darwin theory of the origin of species. This path passes through the thoughts of St. Augustine, who decided to interpret each line of scripture literally, and the workshops of talented artists - from the painter Albrecht Dürer, who created the famous engraving “Adam and Eve”, to John Milton, who wrote “lost paradise”
