This is a very interesting effort to interpret the first chapters of the Book of Genesis as a rational, historical report. It cuts through the mythological overlays and tries to get at the facts that are hidden behind them. Her arguments are quite convincing and based on serious philological research, completing the sometimes sparse narratives of the Beginnings of Mankind with traditional Jewish tales and legends. A secret tip for those who are not afraid of calling literal interpretations of the Bible into question and face the facts that Hunankind is the creators of its past, present and future. If you still believe in Santa Claus & Co., this not the right book for you!
