Synopsis: Stephen Greenblatt, the National Book Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, investigates the life of one of humankind's greatest stories. The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve explores the enduring story of humanity's first parents, and through them, of Western civilization. Greenblatt explores the tremendous theological, artistic, and cultural creativity over the centuries that made Adam and Eve so profoundly resonant, and continues to make them, finally, so very "real" to millions of people even in the present. Be sure to read the photo captions which are placed after the Index as these are especially interesting in this book. Greenblatt gives equally full coverage to both believers and skeptics.
