About this audiobook
“Captain Stormfield’s Journey to Heaven” by Mark Twain is a glorious satirical story of a great American writer, which has become his last lifetime work. It is an intelligent and brave fantasy of subterranean life, which completely destroys the usual stereotypes of paradise. The old sea wolf, Captain Elija Stormfield, after his death, is sent to his last shipment through space. Because of the Azar and the desire to arrange a race with a comet, it is slightly shaken from the course and arrives not to the "input" to the heavenly city. It appears that the traditional ideas of paradise with golden arphas, wings and endless seating on the clouds have nothing to do with reality. In the heavens of the captain awaits an enormous, infinite universe, settled by billions of beings from different planets, where the true value is not the glorious title or glory of the earth, but the sincere character, labor and good heart. Mark Twain, with unimaginable humor, bright marine expression and profound philosophical irony, laughs the human egocentric tenderness and harshness, offering the reader a surprisingly bright, broad and vivid image of eternity. ** About what the book is in three words:** Space, Paradise, Satira. **Who to read:** Fans of Mark Twain's sincere humor and satire, lovers of unusual fantasy stories about funeral life, as well as everyone who appreciates wise irony and philosophical complaints.
