Winner of the 1999 Jerusalem Prize for Literature The angel Adiel is chosen to witness the tragedies of the ten generations of man. "After what I had witnessed, I reflected that I might have been his friend, if only I could have been revealed to him and spoken with him. We could have been like brothers. But the Lord had created the world as He created it. Adam will dream of angels and angels will lust for Adam, and the Lord will divide them." ADIEL is a re-telling of the Old Testament story of the Bible, from the Creation of Adam and Eve through the ten generations, culminating with Noah and the Flood. It is told through the observations of ADIEL, an angel, appointed by God and the archangel Michael, whose responsibility it is to record the events of Man, a sort of protective angel of history. Utilising the Ancient forms of Midrash, the Jewish term for literary and creative Biblical exposition, it is a reflection on the place and man in the universe, and on good and evil.
