Notă biografică
Mark Twain (1835-1910) was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, arguably the greatest humorist the United States has ever produced and the author of travel narratives and novels that have shaped American literature. His most famous books include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
In his last years Mark Twain had become a respected literary figure whose opinions were widely sought by the press. He had also suffered a series of painful physical, economic, and emotional losses. The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916 and belonging to Twain's "dark" period, belies the popular image of the affable American humorist. In this antireligious tale, Twain denies the existence of a benign Providence, a soul, an afterlife, and even reality itself. As the Stranger in the story asserts, "nothing exists; all is a dream".
