In this fourth volume of Mark Twain's writings for the New York Times, we find the great American humorist at the height of his powers. Twain's wit and wisdom are on full display as he skewers everything from politics to religion to the foibles of human nature. Whether he's writing about the Gilded Age, the Spanish-American War, or the rise of imperialism, Twain's insights are as sharp and relevant today as they were when they were first published. This volume is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the mind of one of America's greatest writers.
