Blurb

What if our father Adam didn't become an ill-fated working-class bloke after the sin against fruit after all, as we have been led to believe, but he gets what is the due of golden-apple thieves... And what if God had originally asked Moses to dust off the 'Adam files' and search for the forbidden fruit that had once been consumed and take it back to where it belongs, the tree of Eden... (Péter Pál Gulyás)

„Adam's Apple, this rainbow bridge constructed between the 'fruit of knowledge of the garden of Eden' and 'Moses's tablets of knowledge,' is a fascinating read. It is a thought-provoking intellectual journey into the history of early forms of knowledge, which although they predate our scientific thinking, are implicated in it.” (László Vekerdi)

„A fascinating reading of comparative mythology. The author breaks new ground by examining mythological motives from the Bible, the Kalevala and the Kalevipoeg, Greek and Roman mythologies, Christian legends and Finno- Ugric folk beliefs, etc. This is a highly informative and deeply intriguing book.” (Mihály Hoppál, president of the Hungarian Association for the Study of Religion)
