About this title

Synopsis

This is a presentation of a globe-spanning cross-cultural survey of the universal story of Paradise through a tapestry of myth, religion, history and oral tradition. It examines the related myths of creation, the fall from grace and subsequent floods and catastrophes, providing a comprehensive look at the main elelments of world myth and their possible meanings. Heinberg demonstrates how the vision and memory of Paradise have infused human endeavour through literature, poetry, political thought, and utopian experiments, from Miltons "Paradise Lost" to the founding of the United States and the communes of the 1960s and 1970s. In addition, he explores the significance of visionary states of consciousness that feature symbols and images strikingly similar to those found in Paradise myths.
