This is a satire by Twain on the mystery novel genre. In the second arc, Sherlock Holmes is depicted in employing "scientific methods" to a ridiculous degree, yet arriving at a completely wrong assessment. On the other hand, the crime is solved with a supernatural ability that no normal human possesses. Yet even this fails to reveal the whole truth as the final twist of the story indicates. Furthermore, Sam Clemens/Mark Twain poked through the "4th wall" and appeared as himself in the middle of the story, supposedly while the story was being serialized, and responded to letters sent in by readers to the newspaper editor. During the exchange, Twain made fun of/self-advertised on some of his other famous short stories.

This is the first in the series of Political History Texts, texts that have had major impact on how we think and our social and political environment. Chairman Mao's Little Red book continues to influence a generations of Chinese Communists and the repercussions of this man's leadership have unimaginable far reaching impact. How the book has influenced modern thinking in the west I will leave to modern pundits to comment on but you cannot deny the impact that the 5bn copies printed had on the Chinese nation. References have been added to explain historical context, translation of foreign phrases and definitions of uncommon words.
