4.0 out of 5 stars
Humor, Irony, and Entertainment,
This review is from: The ï¿1/21,000,000 Bank-Note and Other New Stories (1893) (Oxford Mark Twain) (Hardcover)
Mark Twain's 1,000,000 bank note is a charming story with a few suprises. Whe a man is shipwrecked his life takes a surprising turn. He finds himself accross the Atlantic Ocean without a cent to his name and with only what he is wearing. In England his missfortune interests two welthy men who decide to make a bet on him. He is given only a 1,000,000 pound bank note and a month on his own. Mark twain uses humor and irony wonderfully in this book. As in many of his books insights into human nature, especcially pride, are enlightening and logical. I would recomend this book to anyone who enjoys humorus short stories without too much slapstick.
