Ist der Mensch vom Wesen her gut? Oder tut er nur Gutes, um sich gut zu fühlen? Hat der Mensch einen freien Willen? Welchen Zwängen ist er unterworfen? Über diese und viele andere große Fragen des Lebens lässt Mark Twain einen »Alten Mann« und einen »Jungen Mann« wortgewandt diskutieren. Das philosophische Zwiegespräch, das beweist, dass Leichtfüßigkeit und Tiefsinn einander nicht ausschließen, erscheint nun erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung.
»Alter Mann: Was auch immer ein Mensch ist, verdankt sich seiner Beschaffenheit und den Einflüssen seines Erbguts, seiner Umgebung, seiner Beziehungen. Er wird bewegt, gesteuert und beherrscht von äußeren Faktoren – und sonst nichts. Er selbst erschafft nichts, nicht einmal einen Gedanken. Junger Mann: Ach was! Woher habe ich denn dann meine Meinung, dass du völligen Unsinn redest?«

This carefully crafted ebook: «The Complete Travel Writings of Mark Twain» is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. It is a complete collection of Mark Twain's travel writings – including 'The Innocents Abroad', 'Roughing It', 'A Tramp Abroad', 'Following the Equator' and 'Some Rambling Notes of an Idle Excursion' – presented in a single volume. Based on a series of letters Mark Twain wrote from Europe for San Francisco and New York newspapers as a roving correspondent, The Innocents Abroad, published in 1869, is a caricature of the sentimental travel books popular in the mid-nineteenth century. Mark Twain's fresh and humorous perspective on hallowed European landmarks lacked reverence for the past, and was as mocking about American manners as it was about European attitudes. Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Clemens (1835–1910), the American author whose classic works of fiction are notable for their narrative voice, humour and social criticism.
