What is Man‪?‬

Many great philosophers of our time have tried to tackle the meaning of mankind. Why are we here? Does free will actually exist? Not to be excluded from such a debate, novelist Mark Twain gives us his most serious work to date with What is Man? And Other Essays. Published posthumously after countless revisions, Twain presents his thoughts in the form of a dialogue between an old man and a young man, analyzing human choices and acts of self-interest. Although the world knows of Mark Twain, the storyteller, readers will be pleased to see the contemplative words of this philosophical venture.
