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 humanity’s 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, Dürer, and Milton in this mammoth project of collective creation, while he also limns the diversity of the story’s 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 problems that have gripped our species for as long as we can recall and that continue to fascinate and trouble us today.

《创世记》经典故事的源起与发展
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这是我第二次读斯蒂芬·格林布拉特(Stephen Greenblatt)的作品,此前曾读过也属于甲骨文丛书的《大转向》。这两本书的风格非常接近。除此之外,格林布拉特引进中国的作品还有《莎士比亚的自由》和《暴君:莎士比亚论政治》等,当然也有人为他作传,见马克·罗伯逊写的《斯蒂... (展开)千百年的沉沦—亚当与夏娃

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
亚当和夏娃的故事可能是整个西方世界流传最广,影响最大的故事了吧——直接关乎人类起源。本书以时间线为轴,向读者展示了在宗教、文学、艺术、哲学、科学等领域中收到亚当夏娃故事的影响及由此引发的思考与诉求。 《吉尔伽美什》中记载的人类起源和《创世纪》中亚当夏娃的故事... (展开)亚当夏娃故事的另一种读法:文字的力量

亚当夏娃故事的传播及发展,以及由此衍生出来的文学、绘画、雕塑等等艺术作品,都展示了其绵延不绝的生命力,同时也彰显出文字,或者说识字阶层在文明发展中的巨大力量。 《创世纪》在成典过程汲取了各方文明的起源故事:极深处的源头在与公元前6世纪美索不达米亚的史诗《埃努... (展开)亚当夏娃——一种审视我们自身的故事样本

消解原典的意义——二三章
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
连读第二三章《巴比伦河畔》与《巴比伦泥板》,酣畅漓淋。几乎能感觉到作者消解宗教原典的恶趣味,看吧,不过是希伯来人对抗异族文化的一个故事,不过是一场文明的式微带来的一个种族的侥幸,不过是对美索不达米亚平原早期史诗的再次改编。还好不是中世纪,否则写这两章的人会... (展开)> 更多书评 13篇
