Letters from the Earth is one of Mark Twain's posthumously published works. The essays were written during a difficult time in Twain's life; he was deep in debt and had lost his wife and one of his daughters.

The title story consists of letters written by the archangel Satan to archangels, Gabriel and Michael,about his observations on the curious proceedings of earthly life and the nature of man's religions. Other short stories in the book include a bedtime story about a family of cats Twain wrote for his daughters, and an essay explaining why an anaconda is morally superior to Man.… (més)

I, sobretot, creadors d’un concepte del cel i de Déu absolutament ridícul. En efecte, qui voldria anar a un cel sense sexe, quan és el passatemps preferit dels humans?
