Representaion Conducive To Books The Diaries of Adam and Eve

"Good deal of fog this morning. I do not go out in the fog myself," notes Adam in his diary, adding, "The new creature does. It goes out in all weathers. And talks. It used to be so pleasant and quiet here." Adam has a lot to learn about Eve, and even more from her, as she names the animals, discovers fire, and introduces all manner of innovations to their garden home. Mark Twain's "translation" of the diaries of the first man and woman offers a humorous "he said/she said" narrative of biblical events. The great American storyteller found comfort and inspiration in the company of women, and his irreverent look at conventional religion is also a thoughtful -- and humorous -- argument for gender equality.

Judgment Containing Books The Diaries of Adam and Eve

Humorous, imaginative, insightful and ultimately tender, Twain knows men and women. We have not changed much. Finished this in under an hour on kindle at 1.5 speed. Going to get a copy for my daughter for her bridal shower. Not sure she will appreciate much now, but maybe someday...

This was an abridged edition. I'm not sure if that harmed it or I just didn't find this particularly funny & it was supposed to be. It was in places, but too much was just too absurd. Strangely, it wasn't the basic Adam & Eve story, but things like Adam not knowing where babies came from. Sigh. I guess I just store my funny bone in a different location than most. I'd still recommend reading this if you like Twain. I do, so no regrets since it was enjoyable & well narrated.



Brilliant! I was so impressed with it, that I told all my friends (who enjoy reading) to give it a try. At least one was enthusiastic about it.

I haven't read anything by Mark Twain since high school, which was many yesterdays ago. And I had only read his full length novels back then, not any of his humorous short stories. So I'm very glad I started with this book as an introduction to them because I really enjoyed it. It's actually two short stories in one, Adam's Diary and Eve's Diary, published separately during the first decade of the twentieth century, but included in one volume here. These days, it's not uncommon to find books

Expulsion from The Garden of Eden, ReinterpretedWe take upon ourselves the power of Judgment, without the power of Discernment. This is the message of the Expulsion story:Consider Hobbes' discussion of Genesis:"[We can look at] You shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.(Genesis, 3. 5) And, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee thou shouldest not eat?(Genesis, 3. 11) For the cognizance or judicature of good and evil, being forbidden by the

***NO SPOILERS***No fan of Mark Twains work--religious and non-religious alike--should overlook this slim masterpiece, a very creative, and most of all, hilarious peek into the minds and lives of Adam and Eve during their first days. The narrative is organized as half Adams diary and half Eves. The tones are sharply distinct, and theres no mistaking whose is whose. Adams is a straightforward, puzzled, and sometimes cranky daily accounting of the days accomplishments and discoveries. Adam shuns
