Eve's Diary (1906)

Eve's Diary is a satirical and humorous short story written by Mark Twain and published in 1906. The story is a fictional account of the events leading up to and following the creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, as told from Eve's perspective. The diary entries follow Eve's experiences as she explores the Garden, meets Adam, and ultimately succumbs to temptation and eats the forbidden fruit. The story is filled with Twain's trademark wit and humor, as Eve provides her own unique perspective on the events that unfold. She is portrayed as a curious and intelligent woman, who is fascinated by the world around her and eager to learn more. Adam, on the other hand, is depicted as a simple and somewhat clueless man, who is content to live a life of leisure in the Garden. Throughout the story, Twain pokes fun at the biblical account of Adam and Eve, as well as the societal attitudes towards women in his time. He also explores themes of temptation, free will, and the nature of humanity. Overall, Eve's Diary is a clever and entertaining read that offers a fresh take on a classic tale.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
