Mark Twain The $30, 000 Bequest & Other Stories: The Authorized Uniform in White

Mark Twain was certainly Americas greatest writer. His genius enabled him to make entertaining reading, even great literature, out of almost anything. Therefore all his collections of miscellaneous shorter works are treasuretroves of short stories, essays, autobiography, and journalistic sketches, ranging, as this one does, from a story told from the point of view of a dog, an article about the first typewriters, to the beginnings of Twains late, fantastic work, Biblical or religious fantasies in which he confronts the most profound issues of existence "A Monument to Adam," "A Human Word from Satan," "Extracts from Adams Diary," "Eves Diary," etc. These can be seen as preludes to his most controversial work of the period of "The Mysterious Stranger" and "Letters from the Earth." | Mark Twain The $30, 000 Bequest & Other Stories: The Authorized Uniform in White
