Beschrijving van het boek

'In the Beginning: B.C. 4004' is an allegorical play by Nobel Prize winning author George Bernard Shaw. Adam and Eve, as avatars for aboriginal humanity, discover a fawn dead from a broken neck and realize they, too, will die eventually from some mishap, even though they are immune to aging. Their dread of death is overwhelmed by the yet more dreadful prospect of life unending, with its tedium and burdens, but they feel bound to live forever because Eden must be taken care of and they are the only ones available to do it. The solution, at least in the book, will come from the Serpent's suggestion...The play is part of the collection titled, "Back to Methuselah (A Metabiological Pentateuch)"
