Book & slipcase. As father of American literature, like William Faulkner referred to him, Mark Twain (born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910) was allowed to mock society in his uniquely cutting and witty manner; an approach society still loves today. In this miniature book you can read twelve of his most popular short stories, including amusing and sceptical ones, such as the "Campaign that Failed", "Extracts from Adam's Diary" and "Eve's Diary", or of course the notorious "Jumping Frog". The reader will discover that after all "when we remember we are all mad, the mysteries of life disappear and life stands explained."
