Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist and essayist. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature." His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel." Twain also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894), and co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.

Reviews

[John Yelverton · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is an interesting tale about what happens when the seeds of discontent are sown and what is actually behind the motivations of the sower.

[Lima · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es un pequeño librito que literalmente cabe en el bolsillo estrecho de un pantalón vaquero y esta edición contiene anotaciones a pie de página que explican mejor el contexto de la historia. Te lo lees en menos que canta un gallo. Genial para lectores amantes de historias de corsarios con un tinte más que nada político/legislativo. Es como si hubiésemos viajado a Pitcairn y hubiéramos escrito un diario sobre lo que había acontecido en el lugar, relatando cada una de las peripecias y cotilleos de cada uno de sus habitantes.

The Frogs Who Didn't Even Wish for a King and Who Got an Emperor.

I am of the firm belief that he was high when he wrote this. Quite an odd little tale, but the message is clear.
