About this listen

 In his later years, Mark Twain penned these enchanting diaries, claiming to translate them from the original manuscripts. Through Eves eyes, we experience the joy and wonder of existence as she embraces the beauty of a newly discovered world. Many interpret this as a heartfelt posthumous tribute to Twains beloved wife, Olivia Langdon Clemens, who passed away in June 1904, while others may see it differently. In contrast, Adams diary reveals a grumpy figure longing for solitude, often struggling with his own thoughts. The contrast between their perspectives and the story of their eventual union captures the essence of love between a husband and wife. Though initially conceived as two separate works, they harmoniously intertwine, and I have brought them together in this captivating collection. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
