The Book of Eve: A beguiling historical feminist tale – inspired by the undeciphered Voynich manuscript

Product Information

Across the world, and throughout time, there have been people who have risen to the challenge of leading others. La historia trata varios temas, pero sobre todo el poder y la influencia que ha tenido la religión en la Alta Edad Media y cómo las mujeres eran vistas como portadoras del mal y el pecado. Y… mi sensación es que no se le saca partido al misterio principal, todo se deja muy ambiguo por lo que cuando se meten elementos sobrenaturales o de realismo mágico… lo vi muy forzado. El libro siempre es narrado a través de Beatrice, la protagonista, pero durante todo el libro se ve cómo las influencias y relaciones con sus otras hermanas la llevan por diferentes caminos y trabas. Digo que la idea es buena porque a pesar de que no se nombra directamente (lo cual tiene sentido porque el nombre por el que lo conocemos se le dio siglos después), la novela gira en torno al manuscrito (o códice) Voynich, un libro miniado fechado en el siglo XV, cuyas ilustraciones y textos son todo un misterio, incluso a día de hoy.

In hindsight I should have found out a little about the Voynich manuscript before reading this book.

I had not been sure what to expect with this novel as I was not familiar with the inspiration behind it, but I truly enjoyed this fascinating and remarkable piece of fiction. The First Book of Adam and Eve also chronicles the birth of Cain and his twin sister Luluwa and of Abel and his twin sister Aklemia. But now we do not see as we once did: our eyes have become flesh, and so they cannot see in the same way as they saw before.

The First and Second Books of Adam and Eve are also known as The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan. When they arrived at the opening of the garden's gate, they saw the spacious earth spread out in front of them. This is taking the bechdel test and flipping it to its opposite extreme and honestly it ends up feeling just as unrealistic.Susannah York pops up as Bloom's oldest friend, but she is featured in some of director Claude Fournier's ill-advised fantasy scenes - one where a boy in a thong parades for both women, and others where the characters are outlined with white light.
