    About this ebook

    First published in 1906, "Eve's Diary" is one of Twain's best stories, in which he addresses gender equity issues, using his iconic wit and satire. 

    "Eve's Diary" is written in the style of a diary kept by the first woman in the biblical creation story, Eve, and is claimed to be "translated from the original MS." The plot of this story is the first-person account of Eve from her creation up to her burial by her mate Adam, including meeting and getting to know him, and exploring the world around her, Eden.

    Mark Twain

    Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed book—and, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.

      Eve’s Diary

      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.]

      Everything looks better today than it did yesterday. In the rush of

      finishing up yesterday, the mountains were left in a ragged condition,

      and some of the plains were so cluttered with rubbish and remnants that

      the aspects were quite distressing. Noble and beautiful works of art

      should not be subjected to haste; and this majestic new world is indeed

      a most noble and beautiful work. And
