註釋The selections in The illustrated Mark Twain, which are chronologically arranged, show how Mark Twain's misanthropy and disillusionment became less and less concealed in his writings as he grew older. They had always existed beneath the surface (he put a pistol to his head as a young down-and-out in San Francisco) but they became increasingly obtrusive in his writings. The development can be seen by comparing the first story in this anthology, "The celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County," with its simple folksy humor, and the long posthumously published story, "The mysterious stranger," in which the moral sense is held up to ridicule and even man's soul is denied.
