The book is written in Shaw's characteristic literary style, filled with sharp dialogue and clever social commentary, making it a captivating read for both fans of classic literature and those interested in theological discourse. 'In the Beginning' not only entertains but also prompts readers to question their own beliefs and reconsider age-old narratives. As a playwright and critic, George Bernard Shaw's background in literature and his penchant for controversy undoubtedly influenced his decision to delve into this timeless story. His keen insight and sharp eye for social critique shine through in this unique interpretation of the Genesis account. I highly recommend 'In the Beginning: B.C. 4004 (In the Garden of Eden)' to readers who enjoy historical fiction, philosophical exploration, and literary works that challenge conventional thinking.

Autorenporträt
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist, and political activist who played a pivotal role in the Western theatre of the 20th century. Known for his wit, his work touched upon social issues with a sharp and often humorous critique. Shaw's literary contributions are vast, comprising more than 60 plays and numerous works of criticism and essays. Among his most notable plays are 'Pygmalion' (1912), which was adapted into the popular musical 'My Fair Lady,' and 'Saint Joan' (1923), a reflection on Joan of Arc's life and a highlight of his explorations into historical drama. His commitment to challenging social norms and the status quo was recognized in 1925 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, cited for his work which is marked by both idealism and humanity, its stimulating satire often being infused with a singular poetic beauty. A late work of Shaw, 'In the Beginning: B.C. 4004 (In the Garden of Eden)' exemplifies his wit and use of biblical allegory to critique contemporary society. Shaw's literary style was distinctive for its use of paradox and insistence on the discussion of issues through engaging dialogue, a trend-setter for modernist drama and literature. With a legacy enduring in both academia and popular culture, Shaw remains an indispensable figure in the study of English-language theatre and literature.
