[edit] Adam Hart

I was intrigued to find the name "Adam Hart" prominently mentioned in this article. This was the name of the mysterious enemy in Frank M. Robinson's The Power, published in 1956 and made into a 1958 Studio One episode and 1968 film, all predating Neutzsky-Wulff's 1972 Adam Harts Opdagelser. Does anyone know if Neutzsky-Wulff's name and/or character was inspired by Robinson's? Did Neutzsky-Wulff mention it in any author's notes? Or is this just a coincidence of a fairly ordinary name with lots of allusive potential in Western cultures (Adam = first man, Hart = heart)? ~ Jeff Q (talk) 07:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Although I've never heard him mention it, it is almost certain that Neutzsky-Wulff named his protagonist from the mysterious character in the movie, or possibly the original story. The Adam Hart of "The Power" is an elusive character in that he is different to each person who encounters him. While Neutzsky-Wulff's Hart does not exactly display this trait, it's a recurring motif in his works (e.g. Menneske). There may be additional reasons for using the name of which I'm unaware.Kissoff 21:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
