THE COMPLETE SHORT STORIES OF MARK TWAIN - MARK...

For deft plotting  riotous inventiveness  unforgettable characters  and language that
brilliantly captures the lively rhythms of American speech  no American writer comes close to
Mark Twain. This sparkling anthology covers the entire span of Twain's inimitable yarn-spinning
from his early broad comedy to the biting satire of his later years. Every one of his sixty
stories is here: ranging from the frontier humor of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras
County ” to the bitter vision of humankind in The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg ” to the
delightful hilarity of Is He Living or Is He Dead?” Surging with Twain's ebullient wit and
penetrating insight into the follies of human nature  this volume is a vibrant summation of the
career of-in the words of H. L. Mencken-the father of our national literature.”
