Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist and essayist. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature." His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel." Twain also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894), and co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
This small book came out here, a translation to The Diaries of Adam and Eve, I was immediately curious to read it!!! The theme and the author caught my attention, I ended up getting to Letters from the Earth first, but I've now picked this one up... I really enjoyed the humor in this!! The way Adam is exasperated with Eve coming to Earth, not knowing how to accept this new person around... but then you have her, and her belief in building something bigger and better - the way she's seeing the world, the way she wants to build something of it that isn't constricted to some preconceived idea!!! This was a funny commentary, using the Bible as a structured based, to tell you how different views on things can build us a better world!!
