Extracts from Adam's Diary (CD-ROM)

by Mark Twain (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A companion piece to 'Eve's Diary", "Extracts from Adam's Diary", was first published in a souvenir book for the 1893 Buffalo Pan-American Exposition. This version placed the Garden of Eden at Niagara Falls. In 1904 the book was published with the illustrations of Fredrick Strothmann. This book is based on this version which retains the Niagara Falls references.

Twain later rewrote this work without the Niagara Falls references but that version never was as well liked as the original.

The Quiet Vision copy of this book includes all 40 plus illustrations from the 1904 version.

"Extracts from Adam's Diary" is typical Twain's humor. This work along with "Eve's Diary" are unique among Twain's work in that the illustrations are of equal importance to the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, March 20, 2007

By	Max - See all my reviews

This review is from: Extracts from Adam's Diary/The Diary of Eve (Paperback)

Even if you're not a Twain fan you'll probably like this book. It's hilarious-- laugh out loud funny-- and feels very modern. If you're expecting a quaint, outdated book you'll be immensely and pleasurably surprised.

And this specific edition is great too, with one side of the book for Adam's diary and the other for Eve's. (In other words, there's no front or back-- it's two covers, one for each diary.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny story, July 15, 2009

This review is from: Extract's From Adams Diary (1904) (Paperback)

It is a really very funny story, at first I simply wonder how the church reacted with this story, then I admire the imagination of author, who could invent such a funny story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adam and Eve in Perspective, June 9, 2009

This review is from: Extracts from Adam's Diary/The Diary of Eve (Paperback)

This is a little gem of a book. I loved it, it's about the relationship between Adam and Eve, how they see themselves and each other. Very funny and a quick read.
