"English as She Is Taught," "What Is Man?," and "Letters to Satan" are among the seventy-seven essays, each featuring Twain's witty, vital, colourful style,and reminding us why, nearly one hundred years after his death, he continues to be one of the most widely read and beloved of all American authors.
