«Il diario di Adamo ed Eva» is Mark Twain's satirical tale, published by Stampa Alternativa in paperback (48 pages, in Italian).
With irreverent humor, Mark Twain rewrites Eden from the diaries of the first couple: Adam is baffled by Eve, while she names the animals, discovers fire and fills the garden with inventions. A biblical «he said, she said» that, beneath the satire, defends equality between the sexes and criticizes conventional religion.
It belongs to the Millelire collection, translated by Giovanni Sordini; the English original, «The Diaries of Adam and Eve», dates from 1906.
A brief, ironic read for those seeking a classic satire and a heterodox take on biblical stories.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's 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". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
