About the Author:
"Samuel Langhorne Clemens... better known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer. Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has since been called the Great American Novel, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his lifetime, Clemens became a friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and European royalty.
Clemens enjoyed immense public popularity, and his keen wit and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics and peers. American author William Faulkner called Twain 'the father of American literature.'"
Customer Reviews
A Brutal Condemnation of a Cruel Diety
Samuel Clemens is the unsung hero of anti-theism. In these letters, he presents a compelling case for the rejection of Christianity and shines the light of reason on the abhorrently cruel god of the bible.
This edition of the book is poorly typeset. The publisher uses double and single primes instead of proper quotation marks and apostrophes, and double hyphens instead of em dashes. There are two or more typos as well.
