Eve's Diary (Illustrated)

Eve's Diary forms part of Twain's so-called Adamic Diaries, along with the works That Day In Eden, Eve Speaks, Adam's Soliloquy, and The Autobiograhy of Eve; unlike Adam's Diary and Eve's Diary, the other Adamic Diaries are dark in tone, and satirical of Christianity — they were not published during Twain's lifetime. It is believed that Mark Twain wrote this book as a love letter to his wife, Livy, who died in June 1904; in a telling admission, Twain said: "Eve's Diary is finished — I've been waiting for her to speak, but she doesn't say anything more."
