Extracts from Adam's Diary, translated from the original ms. by Mark Twain
"Extracts from Adam's Diary, translated from the original ms. by Mark Twain" is a comic short story first published in 1893. Through Adam's bemused perspective, Twain reimagines the Garden of Eden as Eve arrives—a chattering "creature with the long hair" who insists on naming everything. Adam struggles to understand this newcomer, then puzzles over a mysterious being called Cain. The humorous account follows Adam's journey from deep annoyance to unexpected love, offering
an ironic, fresh take on Genesis from humanity's first man discovering the world anew. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
