James Weir is the occasional writing name of a former academic, journalist and broadcaster. He currently lives with his wife and son in the West of Scotland, not Paradise, but as close as it gets. This is his first travelogue.
'As a young man, I walked for a time in paradise.' In the summer of 1977 James Weir came upon a walled garden in the south-east of Turkey that seemed to speak to him of something deep in our collective memory. 'If Eden ever had an earthly reality, as something more than a mythology of the greatest change in our existence since we stood upright as a species,' then perhaps here was one of its locations. Circumstances subsequently took Weir to the Persian Gulf and the Africa's great Rift Valley and many more places, where people suspected the locality of the 'real' Eden. Although his journeyings were never a conscious search for the lost Paradise, that is what in retrospect they seem. Follow him on this fascinating and often spiritual tour de force through literature, science, theology and archaeology, and meet on the way the 'real' Eve.
