Beskrivelse

In What Is Man?, originally published by Mark Twain in 1906, engage in a thought-provoking dialogue between a young man bursting with curiosity and an older man who has become disillusioned with life. This compelling exchange delves into themes of destiny, free will, and psychological egoism, as the Old Man argues that humans are nothing more than machines, while the Young Man challenges him to provide his reasoning. This collection of essays showcases Twains diverse interests, offering a blend of serious reflections, political commentary, and his signature ironic humor. (Summary by Wikipedia and John Greenman)
