1904 1st ed Mark Twain 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.
