Synopsis

1927. God made man, like Himself, lonely. The animals had mates, but man had a soul. God admired this distinction, but man at that time did not. Man tried to make friends with the animals, but a day came when the divine loneliness could not be endured, so God made Lilith, the most seductive body of a woman the oldest poets remembers. However Lilith had no soul, then God created Eve and divided the one soul between them. Not the addition Adam asked for, but division. the animals; Lilith; paradise; Eve; fall of man.
