Eves Diary illustrated Mark Twain - This story puts a new twist on a very old story: the story of Adam and Eve from the Bible. In the Bible story, Eve, the first woman, is created as a partner for Adam, the first man. When she tempts Adam into eating forbidden fruit, they are thrown out of the garden of Eden. Twains story, however, is from Eves point of view. It paints a picture of her as fully independent with likes, dislikes, joys, and sorrows. She is separate from Adam, and the story follows as she discovers him and eventually falls in love. Twain takes the original Adam and Eve story and puts Eve in a positive light, showing her as a complete person.Eves Diary (1906) is one of Twains best stories, in which he addresses gender equity issues, using his iconic wit and satire. We mention this story in The Unreliable Narrator as a "Reliable Narrator" in contrast with Extracts from Adams Diary.On the first day of her existence in the Garden of Eden, Eve begins her diary, believing herself to be part of a great experiment.Eve demonstrates a profound appreciation of and curiosity about her surroundings and attempts to win the affection of the insensitive Adam.The two remain together after being expelled from the Garden, and after Eves death, Adam reflects that Eden existed wherever Eve did.

A Tramp Abroad illustrated Mark Twain - A Tramp Abroad is a work of travel literature, including a mixture of autobiography and fictional events, by American author Mark Twain, published in 1880. The book details a journey by the author, with his friend Harris (a character created for the book, and based on his closest friend, Joseph Twichell), through central and southern Europe. While the stated goal of the journey is to walk most of the way, the men find themselves using other forms of transport as they traverse the continent. The book is the fourth of Mark Twains six travel books published during his lifetime and is often thought to be an unofficial sequel to the first one, The Innocents Abroad (1869).As the two men make their way through Germany, the Alps, and Italy, they encounter situations made all the more humorous by their reactions to them. The narrator (Twain) plays the part of the American tourist of the time, believing that he understands all that he sees, but in reality understanding none of it.

La accion gira en torno a la figura sublime y valerosa de Juana de Arco.Juana de Arco es un relato realista, vigoroso, magnifico y evocador, que nos transporta al dramatico contexto de la Guerra de los Cien Años, con la Europa cristiana en llamas y Francia en peligro de perder su territorio. La accion gira en torno de la figura sublime, insigne y valerosa de Juana de Arco, una jovencisima doncella de Orleans que, al oir la llamada de unas voces, se siente llamada por Dios, y pretende nada menos que solventar el conflicto participando directamente en la batalla.A traves de estas emocionantes paginas se suceden, una tras otra, escenas de heroismo, unidas a la figura leal de Louis de Conte, escudero de Juana y compañero de sus triunfos en el campo de batalla, al que el genio narrativo de Twain hace presunto autor de esta grandiosa historia, que podria figurar entre las mas increibles leyendas de caballeria, incluido el tragico final de la Doncella de Orleans, quemada viva en la hoguera.Mark Twain nacio en 1835 con el nombre de Samuel Langhorne Clemens en Florida, EE UU, y murio en 1910. Escritor y aventurero incansable, encontro en su propia vida la inspiracion para sus obras literarias. Crecio en Hannibal, pequeño pueblo ribereño del Mississippi, lugar que inspiraria sus obras mas conocidas, Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn y Tom Sawyer, que es, sin duda, su obra maestra, e incluso una de las mas destacadas de la literatura norteamericana, por la que ha sido considerado el Dickens estadounidense.El inmenso exito de estas obras ha hecho que el resto de su obra pase mas en sordina y no sea reconocida como merece, en particular su esplendida novela sobre Juana de Arco, de la que el mismo dijo:"Estoy plenamente convencido de que Juana de Arco, el ultimo de mis libros, es el que he logrado plenamente".
