Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Lucas Cranach the Younger, Hans Wertinger and Albrecht Dürer. Four late works: the boy Satan who visits an Austrian village and shows three children what the human race looks like from outside, the essay arguing that Shakespeare did not write Shakespeare, Eve's diary, and the lecture on how to tell a story. Twain wrote most of this after the deaths of his daughter Susy and his wife, and The Mysterious Stranger itself was published only after his own death, assembled by his editors. Fifty-six plates, from Dürer and Munch to the Cranachs, carry the late Twain's darkening vision of the human face and the natural world.
