Riassunto

"This new creature with the long hair is a good deal in the way. It is always hanging around and following me about. I don't like this; I am not used to company. I wish it would

stay with the other animals."

-Mark Twain, Extracts from Adam's Diary (1906)

 

Extracts from Adam's Diary: Translated from the Original Ms. (1906), by Mark Twain, is a comedic account of the biblical Book of Genesis, narrated in the first person by Adam in his diary. This story describes how Eve moves into the Garden of Eden, and how Adam must deal with "this new creature with the long hair."

This jacketed hardcover replica of the original edition of Extracts from Adam's Diary, with unique illustrations by Frederick Strothmann, offers a wonderful and humorous read.
