Other editions of book Eve's Diary

Eve's Diary is a comic short story by Mark Twain. It is written in the style of a diary kept by the first woman in the Judeao-Christian creation myth, Eve, and is claimed to be "translated from the original MS." The "plot" of this novel is the first-person account of Eve from her creation up to her burial by, her mate, Adam, including meeting and getting to know Adam, and exploring the world around her, Eden. The story then jumps 40 years into the future after the Fall and expulsion from Eden. It is one of a series of books Twain wrote concerning the story of Adam and Eve. The book version of the story was published with 55 illustrations by Lester Ralph, on each left hand page. These beautiful additions depicted Eve and Adam in their natural settings. Unfortunately, the depiction of an unclothed woman was considered pornographic when the book was first released and created a controversy around the book.

Excerpt from Eve's Diary: Translated From the Original Ms.I am almost a Whole day old, now. I arrived yesterday. That is as it seems to me. And it must be so, for if there was a day-before-yesterday I was not there When it happened, or I should remember it. It could be, of course, that it did happen, and that I was not noticing. Very well; I Will be very watchful, now, and if any day-before-yesterdays happen I Will make a note of it. It Will be best to start right and not let the record get confused, for some instinct tells me that these details are going to be important to the historian some day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from book: f-nr'0 iiarij the other one, though I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into the midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could have held out a little longer maybe I could have got one. So I cried a little, which was natural, I suppose, for one of my age, and after I was rested I got a basket and started for a place on the extreme rim of the circle, where the stars were close to the ground and I could get them with my hands, which would be better, anyway, because I could gather them tenderly then, and not break them. But it was farther than I thought, and at last I had to give it up; I was so tired I couldn't drag my feet another step; and be- Saturday sides, they were sore and hurt me very much. I couldn't get back home; it was too far, and turning cold; but I found some tigers, and nestled in among them and was most adorably comfortable, and their breath was sweet and pleasant, because they live on strawberries. I had never seen a tiger before, but I knew them in a minute by the stripes. If I could have one of those skins, it would make a lovely gown. To-day I am getting better ideas about distances. I was so eager to get hold of every pretty thing that I giddily grabbed for it, sometimes when it was too far off, and sometimes when it was but six inches away but seemed a foot—alas, with Saturday thorns between! I learned a lesson; also I made an axiom, all out of my own head — my very first one: The scratched Experiment shuns the thorn. I think it is a very good one for one so young. I followed the other Experiment around, yesterday afternoon, at a distance, to see what it might be for, if I could. But I was not able to make out. I think it is a man. I had never seen...
