English Summary/英文概要： In the beautiful Garden of Eden there is God. Magnificent, all-powerful and dangerous. And there is the Serpent. A wise, loving and seductive teacher, ready to nurture Eve’s every moment. And then there is Adam. Lithe, beautiful and physical. And finally comes Eve. Enchanting, passionate, lively and always questioning as she struggles with God’s power, the whims of Adam and the problem of free will. This compelling debut novel brings controversial insight and inspiring freshness to one of the oldest tales on earth, exploring questions of personal responsibility, justice and freedom.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 上帝就住在美麗的伊甸園裡。他莊嚴肅穆，無所不能，因而也非常危險。此外，這裡還住著一條巨蛇。他機智聰明，活潑可愛，因而是一位非常具有魅惑力的師長。而且他打算全方位地改造夏娃。當然，這裡還有一個叫做亞當的男子。他輕盈敏捷，英俊瀟灑，身形矯健。這裡的最後一個人就是夏娃了。她嫵媚動人，奔放熱情，充滿活力，而且她一直在質疑上帝的威力與亞當的怪念頭，並為自由意志而與它們做鬥爭。

After graduating from Smith, where she majored in French, she moved to New York to study history at Columbia University’s graduate school. In 1953, Elsie married Andre Newburg, and two years later moved to France. The family remained in Europe (Paris and Brussels) for eight years, and later lived in Hong Kong and London. On her return to the States in 1964, Elsie joined the New York City School Volunteer Program. For seven years she tutored non-readers at Junior High School 45 on 120th Street, at a time when enthusiasm for chaos was high, and it was not unusual to have chairs flying through the air. In 1968, Elsie became a Trustee of the School Volunteer Program, and was Board Chair from 1976-1982, with a nine-month hiatus in Hong Kong, where she ran a preschool program for 250 children at Shamshuipo, a refugee camp for Vietnamese boat people.
