The Diary of Adam and Eve

Written in diary form, "The Diary of Adam and Eve" is an ingenious, witty, and ultimately delightful retelling of the dawn of human creation with many a grain of truth for today's gender disputes. Master storyteller Mark Twain hilariously recreates the very first days, portraying Adam as something of a recluse, and a man who is ill prepared for the arrival of Eve, a talkative, emotional, and highly charged female. Yet in time, and after many moments of conflict, they begin to learn to live together and come to realize that men and women can, in fact, exist in harmony.

Author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain is one of America's greatest writers. A novelist, short-story writer, poet and critic, Updike is best known as the author of the Rabbit trilogy and The Witches of Eastwick.
