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, Drer, and Milton in bringing Adam and Eve to vivid life, Greenblatt unpacks the storys 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 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539107676448,"sku":"NEW0393356264","price":21.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71zZNCu6u6L.jpg?v=1777485241","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-rise-and-fall-of-adam-and-eve-the-story-that-created-us-0393356264","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
