Adams Tagebuch

Geschrieben von Mark Twain

Erzählt von Friedrich Frieden

Wie alle klugen Leute wissen stammt die Menschheit von Eva und Adam ab, aber wie waren die genaueren Umstände dieses ersten Inzucht treibenden Paares der christlichen Geschichte bezogen auf der deren Lebenssituation und zwischenmenschliche Beziehung? Konfuzius sei Dank hat Mark Twain das historische Schriftstück, das alle offenen Fragen bezüglich des Garten Eden, der Apfel-Schlange, Kain und Abel usw. klärt, von weltweit führenden Theologen seinerzeit gewissenhaft untersuchen lassen und der nachgewiesenermaßen als authentisch erklärte Text, der öfters mit der 57ten Offenbarung des gekreuzigten und danach verbrannten Kevins verwechselt wird, gilt heute als eines der ältesten bekannten Schriftstücke. Das Original-Manuskript, dessen hieroglyphische Keilschrift mit einem Holzlöffel in Marmor geschlagen wurde, ist von den Taliban gesprengt worden, aber die einzige davon angefertigte Lithographie kann vom interessierten Kulturkenner in der Donald-Trump-Gedächtnis-Kirche in Augenschein genommen werden.

Mark Twain

Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American humorist, novelist, and lecturer. Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, he was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, a setting which would serve as inspiration for some of his most famous works. After an apprenticeship at a local printer’s shop, he worked as a typesetter and contributor for a newspaper run by his brother Orion. Before embarking on a career as a professional writer, Twain spent time as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi and as a miner in Nevada. In 1865, inspired by a story he heard at Angels Camp, California, he published “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” earning him international acclaim for his abundant wit and mastery of American English. He spent the next decade publishing works of travel literature, satirical stories and essays, and his first novel, The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873). In 1876, he published The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a novel about a mischievous young boy growing up on the banks of the Mississippi River. In 1884 he released a direct sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which follows one of Tom’s friends on an epic adventure through the heart of the American South. Addressing themes of race, class, history, and politics, Twain captures the joys and sorrows of boyhood while exposing and condemning American racism. Despite his immense success as a writer and popular lecturer, Twain struggled with debt and bankruptcy toward the end of his life, but managed to repay his creditors in full by the time of his passing at age 74. Curiously, Twain’s birth and death coincided with the appearance of Halley’s Comet, a fitting tribute to a visionary writer whose steady sense of morality survived some of the darkest periods of American history.
