by Gioconda Belli (Author)
Prepare to enter a fascinating, primitive universe that goes back to the very beginning, to the story upon which Western civilization is based. Poetry and mystery go hand in hand in this transcendent novel about mankind, as never before imagined. Join Adam and Eve as they discover the world for themselves, feel their confusion and panic when they face punishment, and observe in awe as they experience the power to give life and, eventually, the ability to take it away to survive.
From internationally acclaimed poet and author Gioconda Belli comes a beguiling and soulfully rewarding novel--a parable that captures our own time and our own uncertain future.
