Eve's Diary, Part 3

by Mark Twain

"Eve's Diary, Part 3" by Mark Twain is a comic short story first published in 1905. Written as a diary kept by the biblical Eve, the story follows her experiences from creation through her expulsion from Eden and forty years beyond. Eve explores her world, meets Adam, and reflects on beauty and love in her own voice. The work may have served as Twain's posthumous tribute to his wife Olivia, who died shortly before he wrote it. The book's illustrations sparked controversy for depicting Eve unclothed.
