What is Man? And other essays (Mark Twain's Collector's Edition) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Embraces some of the latter day thoughts of the great humorist, some shorter and lighter sketches, together with the radical paper from which the book takes its name, never before given public circulation. Among the essays included in the collection are: “The Death of Jean," "The Memorable Assassination," “A Scrap of Curious History," “A Simplified Alphabet,” and “Taming the Bicycle." In “The Bee” (published for the first time) there are some deliciously funny paragraphs; such as: “Bee scientists always speak of the bee as she. It is because all the important bees are of that sex. In the hive there is one married bee called the queen; she has fifty-thousand children; of these, about one hundred are sons; the rests are daughters. Some of the daughters are young maids, some are old maids and all are virgins and remain so."
