Cosmopolitan Twain
\"From New York City to Vienna to the suburban utopia of Harford, Twain spent most of his life in an urban environment, generating writings that marked America's movement into the twentieth century. Rather than the nostalgic voice of America's rural post, Twain was a visionary of a cosmopolitan future\"--Provided by publisher.
Book
Mark Twain's Book of Animals
With the exception of several short pieces that were published separately by Twain, such as \"Cruelty to Animals I,\" \"Cruelty to Animals II,\" \"Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog,\" \"Fitz Smythe's Horse,\" \"A Cat-Tale,\" and \"A Dog's Tale,\" most of the excerpts are drawn from longer works and given titles by Fishkin specifically for this volume. [...]as Fishkin points out, \"his writing on the topic of cruelty to animals-a body of work that includes journalism, essays, short stories, and a novella-would eventually make him the most well-known American advocate of animal welfare of his era\" (p. 12).\\n The housefly wrecks more human constitutions and destroys more human lives than all God's multitude of misery-messengers and death-agents put together'\" (p. 22, quoting Twain's \"Letters from the Earth\").
