The New Eden by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne
June 2019
In the 19th century, a wealthy man arranges a scientific experiment involving two human beings—one male, one female—placed in their own modern-day Garden of Eden. The purpose of the experiment is to watch their evolution... or something. “Adam” is on one tropical island, “Eve” on another, and they have no notion that any other humans exist anywhere in the universe. By chance Adam sees the smoke from Eve’s cooking fire and manages to travel to her island and meet her, giving the reader much thoughtful insight into what it must have been like for the original Adam and Eve.
