A riveting account of the ways in which mans darkest impulses conflict with common sense. From the lessons learned in Paradise Lost and the events which transpired in the tales of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein to unlocking the secrets of the atom, Shattucks brilliant synthesis of history and literature is utterly relevant to our times and addictively readable. In his best achievement to date (Harold Bloom), National Book Award- winner Roger Shattuck gives us a deeply learned, highly intelligent, and beautifully written (New York Times) study of human curiosity versus the taboo, from Adam and Eve to the Marquis de Sade to biotechnology research.
