Fidanzati, amici, sposi, dalla Grecia antica all'India misteriosa, dalla Bibbia al medioevo. Sono i protagonisti di queste storie, lontani nello spazio e nel tempo, ma uniti da un destino comune: quello di amare ed essere amati. Dopo l'esperienza dell'amore, tutto diventa possibile: lieto fine o tragedia, felicità pura o immenso dolore. E tutti sono pronti ad accogliere il proprio destino - anche quando è crudele come quello di Romeo e Giulietta, o di Tristano e Isotta - pur di non rinunciare all'amore.

"At the very beginning of the world the earth was a dry and dusty place, where nothing could live and nothing could grow. So God made a mist, which watered the ground all over. Then, with his great hands, he formed the first man out of the clay of the newly watered earth."Jane Ray's beautiful version of the familiar story takes into account creation myths the world over. The story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden is powerful because it is the story of all the children growing up and going out into the world. The need to recreate that perfect garden and live again in harmony with the environment is more pressing today than ever before.An Eden Project Book
