Eve's Diary, Part 1

by Mark Twain

"Eve's Diary, Part 1" by Mark Twain is a comic short story first published in 1905. Written as the diary of the biblical Eve, it chronicles her creation, discovery of Eden, and relationship with Adam through her own voice. Part of Twain's series on Adam and Eve, this story stands out for its appreciation of beauty and love. Believed to be a tribute to Twain's late wife Olivia, it concludes with Adam's poignant words at Eve's grave: "Wheresoever she was, there was Eden."
