About this audiobook
“The Mysterious Stranger” by Mark Twain is a philosophical narrative and one of the darkest, deepest and unusual works of the great American satirist on which he worked on the slope of the years. Three boys get acquainted with a mysterious and incredibly charming young man who calls himself Philip Traum and acknowledges that he is an angel, the grandson of Satan himself. With a cold removal, it demonstrates cruelty, hypocrite morality, stupidity and meaninglessness of human existence, where the pursuit of “good” often generates even more suffering. The book represents an uncompromised thought of freedom of will, the arrangement of the universe, the illusory of being and the place of man in the infinite chaos of the universe. Written in a fascinating and poetic language, this story reveals Twain not just as a humorist, but as a great thinker-humanist. ** About what the book in three words:** Illusion, Moral, Angel. **Who to read:** Fans of philosophical prose and parables, lovers of the “dark” side of Mark Twain’s creativity, lovers of non-standard thinking about the nature of good and evil, as well as everyone looking for a deep and deeply exciting reading.
