About this listen

The Mysterious Stranger is Mark Twain’s final novel. It was worked on periodically from roughly 1890 up until 1910. The body of work is a serious social commentary by Twain addressing his ideas of the Moral Sense and the "damned human race". The story tells of the adventures of Satan, the sinless nephew of the biblical Satan, in an Austrian village in the Middle Ages. Classic storytelling. A very interesting side of Twain’s writings. The recording also contains the short stories "A Fable, The McWilliamses And The Burglar Alarm, Hunting The Decietful Turkey.

Great story, terribly read

Love this story and it's perspective on human morality. Sadly it's being read by someone who mumbles, slurs, has very little understanding of the English language and mispronounces even the simplest of words. I can barely understand what he's saying some of the time. He does make an effort to create a different voice for each character, so I've given him a star for effort, but I feel that he gets Satan's voice all wrong!

Great story, badly cast.

Not Tom Sawyer?

Though the "Mysterious Stranger" is a fascinating story, none of these stories ranks with "Tom Sawyer" and "Huck Finn", which are absolute classics. Furthermore, the reading is dreary and plodding.
