ISBN10: 0393240800, ISBN13: 9780393240801, [publisher: Norton] Hardcover The Biblical tale of humanity’s disobedient first parents has resonated down the ages, influencing Jewish, Christian and Muslim thought, literature and art. Stephen Greenblatt, Pulitzer-winning author of the The Swerve, traces the many and varied interpretations of Adam and Eve from the ancient origins of their story to the post-Darwinian world in which they continue to speak to us as vivid embodiments of human responsibility and human vulnerability. Slightly off-mint. [Newton Abbot, DEVON, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 2017]

ISBN10: 0393240800, ISBN13: 9780393240801, [publisher: WW Norton & Co, New York] Hardcover Hardcover. Bolder, even, than the ambitious books for which Stephen Greenblatt is already renowned, The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve explores the enduring story of humanitys first parents. Comprising only a few ancient verses, the story of Adam and Eve has served as a mirror in which we seem to glimpse the whole, long history of our fears and desires, as both a hymn to human responsibility and a dark fable about human wretchedness. Tracking the tale into the deep past, Greenblatt uncovers the tremendous theological, artistic, and cultural investment over centuries that made these fictional figures so profoundly resonant in the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim worlds and, finally, so very real to millions of people even in the present. With the uncanny brilliance he previously brought to his depictions of William Shakespeare and Poggio Bracciolini (the humanist monk who is the protagonist of The Swerve), Greenblatt explores the intensely personal engagement of Augustine, Duerer, and Milton in this mammoth project of collective creation, while he also limns the diversity of the storys offspring: rich allegory, vicious misogyny, deep moral insight, and some of the greatest triumphs of art and literature. The biblical origin story, Greenblatt argues, is a model for what the humanities still have to offer: not the scientific nature of things, but rather a deep encounter with ...

Signed, First Edition, Mint Condition/CollectibleBook appears to be unread/untouched.Dust jacket in pristine, mint condition and protected by Mylar.Signed by the author, Dr. Stephan Greenblatt, on title page.First Edition print. "Endlessly illuminating and a sheer pleasure to read." ―Jack Miles, author of God: A BiographyDaring to take the great biblical account of human origins seriously, but without credulityThe most influential story in Western cultural history, the biblical account of Adam and Eve is now treated either as the sacred possession of the faithful or as the butt of secular jokes. Here, acclaimed scholar Stephen Greenblatt explores it with profound appreciation for its cultural and psychological power as literature. From the birth of the Hebrew Bible to the awe-inspiring contributions of Augustine, Dürer, and Milton in bringing Adam and Eve to vivid life, Greenblatt unpacks the story's many interpretations and consequences over time. Rich allegory, vicious misogyny, deep moral insight, narrow literalism, and some of the greatest triumphs of art and literature: all can be counted as children of our "first" parents.16 pages of color illustrationsThank you for supporting Casa Pacifica Centers for Children & Families!
