5.0 out of 5 stars
A real surprise for me,
By Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tales of Wonder (Bison Frontiers of Imagination) (Paperback)
I knew Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, but that was all I would have associated with Mark Twain and Science Fiction. Then this book, from the wonderful Bison Frontiers of Imagination series, caught my eye. I try to purchase any of the Bison books that are available inexpensively and seem interesting.
Anyway, combine predictions of future Utopias (think H.G. Wells) with Twain's populism and wit, add in some extrapolated technologies (a la Verne), and you have the beginnings of a picture. This is actually the second reminder than Twain is far more than Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, and the riverboat captain. While I was living in Hawaii I had the good fortune to see mention of Twain's visit and read the wonderful Mark Twain in Hawaii. |
