«El diario de Adán y Eva» is a biblical satire by Mark Twain, published by Valdemar in paperback (156 pages, in Spanish).
Mark Twain ironically recreates the biblical accounts of creation and of Adam and Eve through the fictional diaries of both characters. He contrasts the man's and the woman's viewpoints, satirizes human weaknesses and adds a tender tone; the work is also an evocation of his wife, Olivia Langdon, who died shortly before.
It belongs to the El Club Diógenes collection by Valdemar, number 228. This work was originally published as The Diaries of Adam and Eve (1906).
Readers of satirical humour, myths and classic fiction, and admirers of Mark Twain's work.
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.
