Publisher's Synopsis
The book Bread from Eden traces the legendary bread fallen from heaven that the Hebrews ate as a staple diet during 40 years in the biblical story of Exodus. It argues that the 3,300-year-old miracle food never disappeared from the world.
The Hilliger hypothesis is rooted in the truth of a substitute for bread, the ancient manna, and gives a natural interpretation to an element considered imaginary and abstract.
The quest includes a large bibliography, which compiles hundreds of citations from various periods and languages, to open up a religious and actual reflection on topics such as the plundering of natural resources, livestock production, food-slavery and the desecration of nature.
As Maimonides predicted 800 around years ago: "All nations shall know the manna, it shall be published throughout the world..."
Today, when the yearly consumption of natural resources surpasses what the earth can replenish each year, it is time to call for the existence of the original Omer of manna, kept over thousands of years for future generations.
