|  | What Is Man?: And Other Irreverent Essays
Publication Date: January 27, 2009Mark Twain is sometimes envisioned as a kind of 19th-century American offshoot of Voltaire.

This unique collection assembles writings in which Twain views the multifarious claims of religion--metaphysical, moral, and political--with a skeptical eye. As editor S. T.
