{"product_id":"9781781815007","title":"The Generations of Adam","description":"This impassioned and original book is an exploration of stories - personal stories, family stories, allegories, histories, myths - and of one myth in particular: the Genesis account of creation. Eric Rhode takes the Genesis narrative and interweaves it with others: with Paradise Lost , with the wanderings of King Lear, with Piero della Francesca's painting of the Nativity, with Bunuyan's listening in to a group of women as they sat 'at a door in the sun', talking about a new birth.This is not ordinary story-telling. It is autobiographical writing against the grain. Rhode calls it a form of anti-autobiography. He suggests that our need for meaningful stories may blind us to the fact that truth of its nature does not always take symbolic forms. Rhode's re-telling of the story of Adam becomes an exploration of proto-mental states, in which tales can exist that need no tellers.","brand":"Eric Rhode Ebook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180969115888,"sku":"9781781815007","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781781815007_p0.jpg?v=1763720186","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781781815007","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
