Sorprendente è sicuramente l'aggettivo che meglio rappresenta per me questo breve racconto di Mark Twain, dolce, delicato e anche poetico, venato a tratti da una leggera ironia che rende il tutto ancora più apprezzabile. Eva racconta i primi giorni del mondo, la sua presa di coscienza e le scoperte e sullo sfondo Adamo, chiuso, introverso, sfuggente. Non molte pagine che si leggono in poco tempo e, a chiudere, un finale dolcissimo e struggente. ( )

For people who have limited time for reading and whose favorite line is “So many books, so little time”, this book is for you. It is just a few pages and you could finish it in one sitting.I found this book in the section “Banned Books” at manybooks.net and I have no idea why such an excellent book could be banned. After reading this book I was like: Wow! This is something. Well, duh – It’s written by Mark Twain, no wonder it has the bearings of a classic. This book can be summed up into one word: fascinating. The ending will leave you hanging… but that actually is a good thing. It will make you think… or in other words, it is thought provoking as my journalism teacher would say. Well, obviously that is another good thing if you believe that a book should not be the one that will think for you but instead the one that will make you think.Happy reading! (in case you decide to read this book) ( )

I love this book. Make sure you also read Adam's Diary ( )
