Présentation de l'éditeur
SATURDAY.—I am almost a whole day old, now. I arrived yesterday. That is as it seems to me. And it must be so, for if there was a day-before-yesterday I was not there when it happened, or I should remember it. It could be, of course, that it did happen, and that I was not noticing. Very well; I will be very watchful now, and if any day-before-yesterdays happen I will make a note of it. It will be best to start right and not let the record get confused, for some instinct tells me that these details are going to be important to the historian some day. For I feel like an experiment, I feel exactly like an experiment; it would be impossible for a person to feel more like an experiment than I do, and so I am coming to feel convinced that that is what I AM—an experiment; just an experiment, and nothing more. Then if I am an experiment, am I the whole of it? No, I think not; I think the rest of it is part of it. I am the main part of it, but I think the rest of it has its share in the matter. Is my position assured, or do I have to watch it and take care of it? The latter, perhaps. Some instinct tells me that eternal vigilance is the price of supremacy. (That is a good phrase, I think, for one so young.)
Présentation de l'éditeur
Mark Twain's gloriously funny Diary of Adam and Eve, which John Updike recently described as 'a paradigm of the relations between sexes', is presented here with a number of other Twain pieces on our two oldest ancestors, showing the writer's interest in this most famous biblical story. By giving a voice to Adam and Eve, and by hitting all the notes on the literary scale - from the intimate to the comical, from the journalistic to the idyllic - Twain displays the brilliance and wit for which he is rightly considered one of the greatest satirists of all time.

Hardcover. Etat : Poor. No Jacket. The story of Creation is one of the best known of all time, yet little is ever made of the experiences of the first man and woman in that Edenic garden, save for their fateful beguilement by the serpent. In The Diary of Adam and Eve, master storyteller Mark Twain hilariously recreates those very first days, and reveals that the garden was by no means free of that gender battle that has inspired so many later writings. He portrays Adam as something of a recluse, a man who enjoys his own company and is ill prepared for the arrival of Eve, a talkative, emotional and highly charged female. Yet, in time, and after many moments of conflict - some humorous, some to their immense frustration - they gradually learn to live together and come to realise that men and women can, in fact, exist in harmony.
