The Mysterious Stranger, and Other Stories
(eAudiobook)
Description
Mark Twain's The Mysterious Stranger, and Other Stories offers a darker, more philosophical side of the great humorist. The title story, left unfinished at Twain's death, introduces a supernatural visitor who challenges human notions of morality, free will, and the meaning of existence. The Stranger's calm, unsettling wisdom exposes the fragility of human belief and the absurdity of much that is taken for granted. The collection as a whole combines Twain's sharp wit with a deep skepticism about human nature and society. Through satire, allegory, and irony, he probes questions that remain disturbingly relevant today. These stories remind readers that Twain was not only a master of comedy but also a thinker unafraid to confront uncomfortable truths.
