"Extracts from Adam's Diary, translated from the original ms. by Mark Twain" is a humorous fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The book takes the form of a diary and offers a satirical retelling of the biblical story of Adam and Eve, focusing on Adam's perspective as he navigates life in the Garden of Eden. It examines themes of companionship, human nature, and the folly of misunderstandings between genders through witty and thoughtful prose. In the diary, Adam recounts his experiences with a new companion, Eve, whose arrival disrupts his solitary existence. He describes the challenges of living with her, such as her incessant naming of things, her curiosity about the world, and her eventual temptation to eat the forbidden fruit, which leads to chaos and the introduction of death into their lives. Through humorous entries, Adam reflects on the changing dynamics of their relationship, the struggles of living outside the Garden, and ultimately discovers the value of companionship and love. The diary takes readers on a journey from Adam's initial irritation at Eve's presence to a deeper appreciation of her character and contribution to his life.

Reading ease score: 79.5 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
