What Is Man? and Other Essays showcases Twain at his most insightful and provocative.

This Warbler Classics edition faithfully reproduces thirty-four playful drawings by Mark Twain that illustrate "How to Make History Dates Stick," "A Simplified Alphabet," and "As Concerns Interpreting the Deity." Also included is "Mark Twain's Americanism" by H. L. Mencken and an extensive biographical timeline of Twain's life and work. Expansive, thoughtful, irreverent, and enormously entertaining, What Is Man? and Other Essays is essential reading for Twain enthusiasts and lovers of American literature.
