This audio book with Mark Twain stories, is created abound with humor and wit, at times careless and joyful, at times ironic and even sarcastic, but always masterfully reflecting the real life as it has always been.

Mark Twain is a famous American writer who surely can be placed in one line with such masters of literature as Charles Dickens, William Thackeray and Anton Chekhov.

The Second Funeral of Napoleon

The Second Funeral of Napoleon by William Makepeace ThackerayThe Second Funeral of Napoleon by William Makepeace Thackeray

An interesting book about the re-burial of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in Paris. Thackeray penned it using Michael Angelo Titmarch as his nom-de-plum. Composed of three letters, this book is not only significant for its historical content but also throws light on the political scenario of the time. Riveting!
