It tells the tale of switching identities-one a baby boy born into slavery and the other a baby boy born to be the master of the house. Twain offers his quintessential ironic vision of slavery and race in America, topics that one hundred twenty years after its publication are still haunting the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded is the short story of \u003cem\u003eThe Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins\u003c\/em\u003e, which introduces the twins Luigi and Angelo Capello, who also show up in \u003cem\u003eThe Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis jacketed hardcover replica of the original edition contains unique marginal illustrations-cartoon-sized illustrations in the margins of the text-by the illustrators F.
