Kahn gives the true texts a fresh reading, offering the first detailed criticism of works of central importance for an understanding of the entire Twain canon. In his final decade, Twain began some remarkable experimentation, writing fantastic 'fables' about the 'damned human race.' Among these were the three 'Mysterious stranger' manuscripts, entitled 'The Chronicle of Young satan,' 'Schoolhouse Hill,' and 'No.44, The Mysterious stranger.' These manuscripts differ widely in setting, plot, and characters; yet certain basic situations, and the angel named 'Young Satan' who is later metamorphosed into 'No.44,' appear in all three." A very good read and a very interesting book! Add this one to your Mark Twain collection, it is a good one to have! A must read book and one that will make a great conversational topic. *9BC2.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Discover an exciting literary talent in Jacob Kahn, the Californian poet whose debut full-length collection engages with classical antiquity as a way to grasp our present moment. Kahn reconsiders the themes, characters, settings, problems, and structures of Virgil' s Eclogues, insisting that the pastoral is political. How may an ancient court poet's musing about shepherds and dispossession sing to us relevantly? Kahn provokes, " lyric continuity is the provision of militaries." In poems with broad frames of reference, Jacob Kahn sharply confronts the technocratic blight of contemporary San Francisco, where " the processes of exploitation, in effect, dissolve into the landscape." The poems in Mine Eclogue attend to the idyllic panorama and lyric minutiae of life in the modern heart of empire. Engaged with a loose lineage of Bay Area pastoralism, these are poems of vantage and habitude, town and city, ownership and eviction, labor and liability, routine and pleasure, ditty and bickering. Roof Books is excited to be supporting the emergence of this important new voice.…
