Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Book Club Edition. This book is "Mark Twain on the Damned Human Race" ; it is a collection of topical essays by the great American writer, Samuel Clemens, that was edited by Janet Smith. This Special Edition has a Preface by Maxwell Geisner. Published by Hil…l and Wang in 1994, the book was issued through a book club (no price on jacket). Excerpted from the dust-jacket blurb : |> This is a magnificent collection of Mark Twain's topical writings, mainly and most eloquently concerned with the themes of social justice, the American civilization in its dawning age of imperialism, and the corrupt nature of man in general. Many of Twain's greatest essays are included here, especially "To the Person sitting in the Darkness", "As Regards Patriotism", "The War Prayer", "The United States of Lyncherdom", and "Banquet for a Senator". In all the essays in this volume Twain speaks as a man outraged by the social, moral, and religious corruption he sees around him. These essays open the floodgates of his anger, his brilliant satire, his devastating wit, and his deep concern for man's fate. <| CONTENTS : ON THE DAMNED RACE - To the Person Sitting in Darkness - Corn - Pone Opinions - My First Lie and How I Got Out of It - About Smells - As Regards Patriotism - Bible Teaching and Religious Practice - Dr. Loeb's Incredible Discovery - The Dervish and the Offensive Stranger - Does the Race of Man Love a Lord? - The War Prayer - Reflections on Being the Delight of God ON THE UNITED STATES - The Caravan - At Galilee - Disgraceful Persecution of a Boy - A Defense of General Funston - A Humane Word from Satan - The United States of Lyncherdom - Banquet for a Senator - Comments on the Killing of 600 Moros ON SPAIN - A Word of Encouragement for Our Blushing Exiles 0N FRANCE - What Paul Bourget Thinks of Us ON ITALY - They May Be Good People - The True Religion - The Infernal Machine - Why Don't They Rob their Churches? - If I Were a Roman ON THE JEWS - Concerning the Jews - Stormfield and Goldstein ON THE BELGIAN CONGO - King Leopold Soliloquy ON RUSSIA - The Czar's Soliloquy ON ENGLAND - The Aristocracy - The Examination - Archdeacon Wilberforce Discovers the Holy Grail ON THE WHITE RACE - The White Man's Notion - Slave Catching from the Slave's Point of View - Clothes - War Monuments - Skin Deep - Woman's Place - Insult, Humiliation, and Forced Labor - From Bombay to Missouri TITLE : Mark Twain on the Damned Human Race AUTHOR : Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens , 1835 - 1910) EDITOR & INTRODUCTION : Janet Smith PREFACE : Maxwell Geisner IMPRINT : Hill and Wang PLACE : New York DATE : (1994) EDITION : "Special Edition" (So stated by publisher) - Issued through a book club.
