Synopsis

This audiobook is a collection of Mark Twain's anti-imperialist writings (newspaper articles, interviews, speeches, letters, essays and pamphlets). Mark Twain's Anti-Imperialist Writings reflect most faithfully the fighting character, uncompromising stance, sharp humor and brilliant intelligence of the famous author. Twain recognizes the need for a revolutionary voice, pointing out how many abolitionists were undeterred by so-called "patriots" who had despised and insulted them during the time when slavery was still lawful in the United States. His satirical skills, as well as his mastery of sharp rhetoric have enabled Twain, through the interviews, speeches, essays, letters and other writings added to this collection, to present clear arguments in favor of anti-imperialist thought, and speak against the harsh realities of his time.
