Mark Twain In a Darker Voice Alan L. Chase A very knowledgeable friend of mine asked me not long ago about my appreciation of the writing of Mark Twain. I talked about the usual highlights: "Tom Sawyer," "Huckleberry Finn," "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court." He asked if I were familiar with the novella, "The Mysterious Stranger." When I confessed my ignorance, h. "if you're looking for something like Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" according to Audra.

Kindle Customer said Not up to his par. Seriously draggy, boring, and overtly moralistic. It was seriously hard to keep reading after reading Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. They had some action, and some nifty dialogue. Never has Satan been so boring, although he is sneaky and tricksy.
He is as apt to deal with the great minds of the law hunting a wayward elephant as with a man who has a bank note no one can cash. Based on boyhood memories of the Mississippi River Valley and of the print shops of Hannibal, the story is set in medieval Austria at the dawn of the printing craft. In addition to The Mysterious Stranger, this volume includes the stories "The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg," "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," "The Story of the Bad Little Boy," "The Diary of Adam and Eve," "Edward Mills and George Benton," "The Joke That Made Ed's Fortune," and "A Fable.". It is a psychic adventure, full of phantasmagoric effects, in which a penniless printer's apprentice-a youthful, mysterious stranger with the curious name 44-gradually reveals his otherworldly powers and the hidden possibilities of the mind. The Mysterious Stranger, Mark Twain's fantastical last novelette, took him twelve years-and three long drafts-to complete. The Mysterious Stranger is a rarity in the work of Twain-a story in which the author turns his sardonic, free-wheeling wit to the problem of Eternal Evil in a distant time and place. In the other stories presented here, Twain debunks his Gilded Age; he ransacks the backyards of daily life and fable to find his notorious, sometimes preposterous metaphors. Ending on a startling note, this surprisingly existential tale reveals a darker side to the author's genius
