Publisher's summary

Embarking on a Journey Beyond Good and Evil: Mark Twain's "The Mysterious Stranger."

This newly annotated edition not only brings Mark Twain's masterpiece to the forefront, but also presents a comprehensive historical biography of the author.

Through this, listeners gain:

  • Contextual Understanding of His Works
  • Insight into Twain's Personal Journey
  • Connection with Historical Events
  • Appreciation of Twain's Legacy

It's an opportunity not just to listen to a classic work, but to embark on a journey through the life, influences, and enduring impact of one of America's literary giants.

The story is set in Austria during the Middle Ages and follows the experiences of a young boy named Theodor, who befriends a mysterious stranger.

The stranger possesses supernatural abilities, and as the narrative unfolds, he reveals a profound understanding of the illusory nature of reality. The novella delves into themes of morality, fate, and the concept of good and evil. Twain uses that character to challenge conventional beliefs and question the nature of human existence.

The story takes unexpected turns as the stranger's influence on Theodor and the townspeople becomes increasingly enigmatic. The novella raises thought-provoking questions about the human condition, free will, and the nature of morality, making it a compelling and challenging work in Twain's literary legacy.
