{"product_id":"mysterious-stranger-9781573920391","title":"Mysterious Stranger","description":"The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916 and belonging to Twain's \"dark\" period, belies the popular image of the affable American humorist. At the time this work was written, Twain had suffered a series of painful physical, economic, and emotional losses.In this antireligious tale, he denies the existence of a benign Providence, a soul, an afterlife, and even reality itself. As the Stranger in the story asserts, \"nothing exists; all is a dream.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prometheus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781573920391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.53w x 0.34d","brand":"Mark Twain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52259564322997,"sku":"9781573920391","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5742e9ce-c950-447c-a8a7-857b4fd9ebda.jpg?v=1771342218","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mysterious-stranger-9781573920391","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
