Description

By: Mark Twain (1835-1910)

What is Man? and Other Essays is a collection of thought-provoking and humorous essays by Mark Twain. Twain’s wit and wisdom shine through in each essay, offering insights into human nature, society, and the meaning of life.

One of the standout essays in the collection is “The Lowest Animal,” in which Twain satirically explores the idea that humans are the most evolved and superior species on Earth. Through clever observations and biting satire, Twain challenges the notion of human exceptionalism and raises questions about our place in the natural world.

Another notable essay is “The Damned Human Race,” in which Twain takes a critical look at humanity’s moral and ethical shortcomings. With his trademark humor and sarcasm, Twain exposes the hypocrisy and absurdity of human behavior, challenging readers to reflect on their own actions and beliefs.

Overall, What is Man? and Other Essays is a thoughtful and entertaining read that showcases Twain’s keen insight into the human condition. Whether he is exploring deep philosophical questions or poking fun at societal conventions, Twain’s essays are as relevant and thought-provoking today as they were when they were first written.

Book Description:
“What Is Man?”, published by Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position. This collection of short stories covers a wide range of Twain’s interests: the serious, the political and the ironically humorous.
