Miscellany of fiction, essays, and notes by Mark Twain, published posthumously in 1962. Written over a period of 40 years, the pieces in the anthology are characterized by a sense of ironic pessimism. The title piece comprises letters written by Satan to his fellow angels about the shameless pride and foolishness of humans. Papers of the Adam Family, a first-person family history of Adam and Eve, traces the first failed attempts at civilization. Other pieces include A Cat-Tale, an amusing, alliterative bedtime story; Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses, a critique of that author's style; and The Damned Human Race, a collection of bitter satirical bits. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
