Adam and Eve: a foundational duo in Western storytelling; recently invoked in debates on guilt, temptation, and human origin myths in public discourse.
Jeffrey Archer has died suddenly and peacefully at home at age 86, HarperCollins has said, one day before the global release of his final novel, Adam and Eve. Archer has sold about 300 million books across a five-decade career, served as a Conservative MP and life peer, and has been convicted of perjury; he is survived by his wife Dame Mary Archer and their family.
