tertaining of Mark Twain's later works, The Diaries of Adam and Eve collects in one volume "Extracts from Adam's Diary," first published in 1904, and "Eve's Diary," published in 1906 after Olivia Clemens's death. Ultimately an endearing love story, the diaries record the couple's 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.
