He had also suffered a series of painful physical, economic, and emotional losses. The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916 and belonging to Twain's \"dark\" period, belies the popular image of the affable American humorist.

As the Stranger in the story asserts, \"nothing exists; all is a dream\".","brand":"Five Star Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166476026096,"sku":"2940015561975","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015561975_p0.jpg?v=1763621797","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015561975","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
