Mark Twain - Huck Finn; Pudd'nhead Wilson; No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger; And Other Writings (Paperback, Liam Col)

Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand". Mark Twain is perhaps the most widely read and enjoyed of American writers. His works span a remarkable range, from the enchantments of boyish fantasy to passionate political invective, and probe the complexities of postbellum life: the violent transformation of the old frontier, the American preoccupation with Europe, and the imperfect reckoning of slavery's terrible cost. Here are Twain's essential works: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; Pudd'nhead Wilson; No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger; "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog"; "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed"; "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences"; "How To Tell a Story"; "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg"; and more.
