We are the heirs of the fate of our ancestors, but this does not mean that we sit in a corner, and put our hands on each other, and since we are the heirs of our ancestors, we do not seek to change our fate and those around us. Or even if we don’t know what happened to us, we have concluded that we are the heirs of the fate of our dead.

Introduction of the book
Adam & Eve
Adam & Eve by Mohammad Mohammadali, is the first novel of the Trilogy of The First day, im which the author has tried to recreate the creation myth in Iranian and Semitic-Islamic cosmology.
The Novel concerns the story of Adam and Eve, as it is in Islamic-Iranian Culture, which is quite different from the story in the Bible. In this novel, based mainly on the Islamic traditions, Satan is not banned after he deceives the first couple, but before it, when god creates Adam and orders all the angles to bow before him. Satan refuses to bow, as he claims that only God is worthy of praise. God expels Satan because of insubordination. But Satan makes a pact with god, that he will try to deceive all mankind, till the judgment day.
