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 . . .
