i was very supprised at this book. i thought it would go someplace it didnt. if this was Twains veiw of humanity then it was a sad kne. flawed we are we still are. i am curious to the reason it was never finished and if the editor finished the ending. it seemed to be going in another direction.

"... as he disappeared I knew it was true. We were all merely a thought & a dream." But if the boy could have witnessed the stranger's smirk, he would have known, "I have again succeeded in sowing despair that will grow into a tree of self-serving resentments! " For additional reading on the established methods of this stranger see C.S. Lewis' book "Screwtape Letters". The reader was excellent.
Intriguing Mark Twain story
Graham
(5 Sterne)
This unfinished novel, the story of a bad angel and how it enters the lives of a group of Austrian villagers offers an intriguing insight into Mark Twain's philosophical ideas. It raises thought provoking questions into the nature of fate, good and evil, and humanity itself. Well read and well worth one or more listens.
Everything he had said was true.

fascinating story, despite being unfinished; notably uneven in story beats and pacing, but still, quite interesting; beautifully nihilistic ending too; Twain rocks
