Mark Twain knew how to express in a few words the true essence of any phenomenon, characterize a person or describe a situation in such a way that it became an aphorism. All his life he studied humanity, the abysses of its vices and the heights of greatness. In his works, Mark Twain laughed at him - ironically, evilly, with compassion. It was as if he was holding up a mirror and saying: look, people, this is what you are like, correct yourself. No one will help you: neither the king, nor God, nor the hero, nor democracy. Let's do it ourselves. We invite you, dear readers, to look in this mirror. Join the art of thinking about time and yourself. With a guiding star named Mark Twain, it will be unforgettable.
