Abstract

The nostalgia of the lost Paradise is related to the expulsion from it – the only condition known by the human being is indeed the situation of “expelled from Paradise”. This category – expressed in the biblical texts as an inverted representation of the world, as portraits of the human longing for “a land with no evil”, “the lost paradise” – will lead us in a short reading of the first chapters of the Book of Genesis.
