What Is Man?

by Mark Twain

What is man? The death of Jean. The turning-point of my life. How to make history dates stick. The memorable assassination. A scrap of curious history. Switzerland, the cradle of liberty. At the Shrine of St. Wagner. William Dean Howells. English as she is taught. A simplified alphabet. As concerns interpreting the Deity. Concerning tobacco. The bee. Taming the bicycle. Is Shakespeare dead?
