| Publisher Description: This vintage volume contains a collection Mark Twain's writings on the topic of 'Christian Science', and begins with an article that was first published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. This very readable text is packed with the witty humour and profound understanding for which Mr. Twain will always be remembered. It will appeal to fans of Twain's work and those with an interest in Christian Science. Despite the fact that Twain was open to and arguably interested in the ideas behind 'Christian Science', he severely disliked its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, which can be seen in his writing. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |
