""Extract From Captain Stormfield's Visit To Heaven"" is a short story by the renowned American author Mark Twain. The story is set in the afterlife and follows the adventures of Captain Stormfield, a seasoned sailor who has just arrived in heaven. As he explores this new world, he encounters various characters and learns about the nature of heaven and the afterlife.Throughout the story, Twain uses his signature wit and humor to poke fun at the traditional ideas of heaven and the afterlife. He presents a vision of heaven that is both familiar and strange, with angels and saints behaving in unexpected ways. The story also touches on deeper themes, such as the nature of faith, the meaning of life, and the human desire for immortality.Despite its humorous tone, ""Extract From Captain Stormfield's Visit To Heaven"" is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider their own beliefs about the afterlife. It is a classic example of Twain's unique style and his ability to use satire to comment on the human condition.Then I fainted. I don't know how long I was insensible, but it must have been a good while, for, when I came to, the darkness was all gone and there was the loveliest sunshine and the balmiest, fragrantest air in its place. And there was such a marvellous world spread out before me - such a glowing, beautiful, bewitching country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
