{"product_id":"9781542709910","title":"The Mysterious Stranger: And Other Stories - 9781542709910","description":"In The Mysterious Stranger, a sleepy Austrian village is visited by Satan, an angel who is the nephew of the more famous, evil Satan. Satan (acting as a mouthpiece for Twain) objectively points out how the human race is defined by fear, lies, betrayal, suspicion, and cowardice. Twain presents us with the burning of an innocent woman as a witch, the abandonment of a kind family by their friends, and a drunkard beating his loyal dog until the poor animal's eye is smashed out. Towards the end, Satan has this bombshell: he doesn't exist, and neither does God--how could there be a greater power when humanity is as sickening and loathsome as it is?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMark Twain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJan 23, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e108 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1542709911\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781542709910\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50352665723185,"sku":"9781542709910","price":13.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781542709910__35518.jpg?v=1732303507","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781542709910","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
