, TWAIN
The most hilarious, charming, and entertaining of Mark Twains later works, The Diaries of Adam and Eve collects in one volume Extracts from Adams Diary, first published in 1904, and Eves Diary, published in 1906 after Olivia Clemenss death. Ultimately an endearing love story, the diaries record the couples initial ambivalence toward each other. While Adam observes that Eve has such a rage for explaining, she muses, He talks very little. Perhaps it is because he is not bright. These two tales are creations of a master humorist and literary genius at the height of his powers. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline.
MARK TWAIN (18351910) was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, arguably the greatest humorist the United States has ever produced and the author of travel narratives and novels that have shaped American literature. His most famous books include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Adam and Eve
gave Twain a path into intimate feelings unapproached by the beguiling, brusquely fantastic, altogether masculine yarns that dominate his oeuvre.

The foremost man of American letters.
