Abstract

Most of Mark Twain’s works criticize reality in a humorous but sharp tone. However, The Diaries of Adam and Eve, which was published in his later life, depicts the wonderful life of a man and a woman, narrating a touching love story. This article analyzes this unique piece of work from the angle of romanticism, highlighting its charm.
