Satan (Jabberwoke Pocket Occult): 10

MARK TWAIN(1835-1910)labored eleven years to complete this final and greatest novel a tale he wrote under the working title of The Chronicle of Young Satan. Alas Mr. Twain was destined by the heavens to exit this life with the book unfinished: having been born during the 1835 visitation of Halleys comet Mr. Twain had long vowed that he would also perish upon the comets return. And so it came to pass: Mark Twain died from a heart attack in 1910 one day after Halleys next fly-by of Earth.This present edition of Satan: A Novel is derived from a harmonizing of the three extant manuscripts of Mr. Twains final work compiled by Mr. Twains literary executor (along with some humble adjustments of our own). Mark Twains fable of an angelic visitation in the Austrian countryside reveals the solipsism of its author and his belief of the unreality of our collective dream.
