Synopsis
In his twenties and thirties, James Weir criss-crossed the landscapes of the Near East and Africa associated with the Genesis story. Did the Garden of Eden have a real earthly existence, or is it simply the mythological representation of a key stage in human progress? Weir's obsession with the story took him to lands now harrowed by war, to once-fertile savannahs where mankind took its first steps, and, in a different kind of journey, into the poetry and prose that deals with our earliest origins. In Search of Eden ends where it unexpectedly begins, at a site which just might represent the first garden, where our ancestors embarked on the long journey that shaped us all . . .

Original boards. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. With coloured map. Light wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket.; In Search of Eden: The Course of an Obsession is a reflective travel memoir in which James Weir pursues the enduring myth of the Garden of Eden. Drawing on journeys through the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Ethiopia, Yemen, Bahrain, Iran, and Turkey, Weir blends history, religion, literature, and personal reflection to explore humanityâs longing for paradise and origins. Rather than a literal search, the book becomes an intellectual and emotional exploration of exile, memory, and belief. Combining travel writing with cultural and biblical investigation, Weir examines how the idea of Eden continues to shape imagination, identity, and dreams of a lost perfect world; Armchair Traveller; 17.5 x 13 x 2.5 cms; xii, 174 pages.
