D'une manière ou d'une autre, les hommes ont toujours cherché à savoir d'où ils venaient, pourquoi ils étaient sur Terre. Pendant longtemps, les Occidentaux se sont représenté leurs origines à partir de la Bible. Aujourd'hui, les découvertes de la paléontologie et de la Préhistoire leur apportent des précisions nouvelles. Mais les sciences ne peuvent répondre totalement aux grandes questions que pose la naissance de l'homme. Elles poussent les Chrétiens à réinterroger les textes bibliques : comment leurs affirmations se situent-elles par rapport à celles des sciences ? Qu'apportent-ils d'autre et que disent-ils à l'homme sur lui-même ? Telles sont les questions qu'explore cet album.

Goodman Brown is a young man who leads a normal and peaceful life with his wife Faith. However one evening, he leaves his wife and heads out to the forest. He has to run an unknown and urgent errand. There, he meets an old man who strangely resembles Brown a lot. Together, they walk deeper in the woods and suddenly Brown hears Faith's voice coming from an unknown direction. He runs angrily through the forest when he stumbles upon a strange ceremony. Goodman Brown's adventure through the woods is a symbol for his journey into self-scrutiny. But is he being tortured through a dream or it this all reality? B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories. He masterfully plays with a wide array of voices and accents and has since then produced over 500 audiobooks. Now in collaboration with SAGA Egmont, his engaging narration of these famous classics is available to readers everywhere.
