{"product_id":"letters-from-the-earth-mark-twain-9781463646226","title":"Letters From The Earth","description":"Miscellany of fiction, essays, and notes by Mark Twain, published posthumously in 1962. Written over a period of 40 years, the pieces in the anthology are characterized by a sense of ironic pessimism. The title piece comprises letters written by Satan to his fellow angels about the shameless pride and foolishness of humans. \"Papers of the Adam Family,\" a first-person family history of Adam and Eve, traces the first failed attempts at civilization. Other pieces include \"A Cat-Tale,\" an amusing, alliterative bedtime story; \"Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses,\" a critique of that author's style; and \"The Damned Human Race,\" a collection of bitter satirical bits. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Twain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1463646224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781463646226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.18d","brand":"Mark Twain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980436209919,"sku":"9781463646226","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec023f68-03ec-4013-a1ef-7e75ba8ce957.jpg?v=1683249889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letters-from-the-earth-mark-twain-9781463646226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
