The title story is Twain's darkly fantastic take on religion, reality, and the meaning of life. It takes place in 1590 in the remote Austrian village of Eseldorf, where few young boys greet an unexpected visitor: an angel named Satan. Among the six other stories included are "A Fable," "Hunting the Deceiful Turkey," and "The McWilliamses and the Burglar Alarm."

Twain’s unfinished last novel, The Mysterious Stranger tells the story of Satan, the angelic nephew of the prince of darkness that is his namesake. A teenager and self-described angel, Satan’s foresight and magic cause a medieval Austrian village to erupt into mass hysteria, resulting in tragedy. Ultimately a critique on organized religion and the seemingly inevitable damnation of all mankind, this unfinished masterpiece remains a fascinating read for Twain scholars and general audiences alike.

The Misteryous Stranger was published posthumously, in 1916. The stranger in Twain's novel is none other than Satan himself. A Satan, in fact, very different from how you might expect . It is chaos emissary, the voice of truth. It comes in the guise of a boy in search of work, which is placed in a print shop - an almost inaccessible tower, a microcosm in its own right - and there reveals the pettiness and the fragility of the human soul. Cruel, quackery , misplaced faith. A story imbued with the pessimistic Twain's view of the world, but also enlightened by his humor and imagination.

The Mysterious Stranger is a tale that is itself both mysterious and strange. Written by Mark Twain, better known for such humorous tales as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, the story concerns the visit of Satan to a medieval Austrian village. One of several versions which he wrote during his later life, it was only published posthumously by his biographer. It is a deeply serious book which examines the nature of morality and maintains a scathing attack on organized religion as a tool of oppression. If you are interested in seeing another side of one of America's most famous authors, The Mysterious Stranger is a fascinating read.

The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain. Worldwide literature classic, among top 100 literary novels of all time.

In his last years Mark Twain had become a respected literary figure whose opinions were widely sought by the press. He had also suffered a series of painful physical, economic, and emotional losses.The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916 and belonging to Twain's "dark" period, belies the popular image of the affable American humorist. In this anti-religious tale, Twain denies the existence of a benign Providence, a soul, an afterlife, and even reality itself. As the Stranger in the story asserts, "nothing exists; all is a dream."
