Here, he comments on politics, education, the media, religion, and literature. The true subject of Twain's satire and burlesque is that strangest of all animals, the human being. In his novels, travel narratives, stories, essays, and sketches, Twain exposes such a variety of human foibles that one is left either laughing at the folly of human enterprise, blushing with shame at human behavior, or cursing the gods that would create such a silly animal. Twain does all three, often at the same time.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127701029104,"sku":"9781411466968","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781411466968_p0.jpg?v=1769896696","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781411466968","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
