Description

The Mysterious Stranger is a story by Mark Twain that tells the tale of a mysterious stranger who comes to a small town and changes the lives of its residents. It is difficult to understand what exactly is happening. However, it seems as though the stranger is a force for good, and he helps the townspeople to become better people. Ultimately, the mystery of the stranger's identity remains unsolved, but his impact on the town is clear.

Author

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), river pilot, Nevada journalist, and the writer who turned American talk into literature. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer gave boyhood its permanent stage; Adventures of Huckleberry Finn put a runaway child and a fugitive slave on the Mississippi and asked what conscience sounds like when the law is wrong. He lectured across America and Europe, lost fortunes, and kept writing.
