The Mysterious Stranger, and Other Stories
About this book
This collection centers on Mark Twain's late, philosophical novella about a mysterious supernatural stranger, accompanied by several of his shorter stories. It suits readers of classic American literature and anyone interested in Twain's darker, more reflective fiction.
Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
