Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1904 MARK TWAIN 1ed Extracts Adam's Diary GENESIS Comedy Satire Eve Illustrated "Extracts from Adam's Diary: Translated from the Original MS." is a humorous retelling by the legendary American writer, Mark Twain, of the Genesis narrative from the Bible. Published in 1904, the story features 45 illustrations by Frederick Strothmann. Twain claims to have "translated" portions of this "diary," presenting it in a playful light as deciphered hieroglyphics, signifying its fictional nature. The narrative provides a comical account of the world's first man coming to terms with the world's first woman. Twain describes Adam's initial bafflement with Eve and his comedic attempts to understand their son, Cain. Over time, Adam's initial annoyance with Eve turns into love.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1904 Mark Twain 1st ed Adam's Diary Fall of Man Creation Illustrated Satire "Wheresoever she was, there was Eden." Mark Twain, Diaries of Adam and Eve Mark Twain's 'Diaries of Adam and Eve' are first-person memoirs that follow along from the beginning of creation, getting to know each other, and their final days on earth after 'the fall'. 'Adam's Diary', first published in 1904, was Twain's comedic and satirical take on the Book of Genesis. It was filled with illustrations by Strothmann; however, most of them were considered pornographic in nature when it was first published in the United States.

Strothmann, F. (illustrator). Translated from the Original MS. Illustrated by F. Strothmann. New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1904. Original red cloth pictorially decorated in grey, green, white and black. First Separate Edition. Twain wrote a series of manuscripts, most not published during his lifetime, on the theme of Adam and Eve. Twain discarded the view that Adam and Eve should have been held accountable for sin, since they had no frame of reference and were born without moral awareness. [MacDonnell] The first appearance of this tale had been over a decade earlier, in the multi-author THE NIAGARA BOOK: A Complete Souvenir of Niagara Falls. (Buffalo 1893); it was next collected in TOM SAWYER, DETECTIVE (London 1897). This is an amusingly-produced book, with a stone tablet shown on each left-hand page and its "translation" opposite. This copy is in near-fine condition, with only a little of the dulling and the letter-flaking that typically afflict the spine. McBride p. 214; Blanck 3480 and see 3437).
