The Devil's race-track : Mark Twain's great dark writings : the best from Which was the Dream? and Fables of man / edited by John S. Tuckey.

The author explores the darker side of life in these little-known later writings. The tone is lightened considerably by Twain's sagely ironic humor and by the warm-heartedness that balance his tough-mindedness.
