“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them.” That's what the Bible says. This happened on the sixth day of creation. We know practically nothing more about this story. What was the Creator's plan? What (or who) vouchsafed him to do this? What kind of idea?.. And the information about the first man and the first woman that has reached us is also extremely scarce. How was their relationship? After all, it was they who determined the essence of human nature for the entire infinite future. Oh, it was a touching and furious, simple-minded and hard-hearted novel. His first dramatic pages are in this book.
