What Is Man? And Other Essays

Mark Twain’s Views on Man, Religion and History “The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creatures that cannot.” - Mark Twain, What Is Man? and Other Essays

Besides his one-of-a-kind fiction craftsmanship, Mark Twain was also an excellent essayist. In his essays, Twain tried to solve the human kind’s riddles and answer those burning questions asked ever since Ancient Greece. Is Man an egocentric and conditional machine? What is Circumstance? Are all Men mad? Why do we create idols? Twain has an answer for all these questions! This Xist Classics edition has been professionally formatted for e-readers with a linked table of contents.
