The Mysterious Stranger

The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain

Who can argue Mark Twain’s literary genius? He was a versatile author, whose talent is evident in every piece of his work.

The Mysterious Stranger was published after Twain’s death. It is a very heavy tale, examining the nature of morality and belief.

This book shows the deeper side of Twain. A recommend for the serious reader.
