Those Extraordinary Twins - Mark Twain - Bog

Those Extraordinary Twins is a novel written by Mark Twain that tells the story of two conjoined twins, Angelo and Luigi, who are joined at the hip and share a single set of legs. The twins are born into a circus family and are initially exploited for their unique physical condition. However, as they grow older, they become more independent and begin to assert their own identities. The novel follows the twins as they navigate the challenges of being different in a society that values conformity. Along the way, they encounter a cast of eccentric characters, including a traveling salesman, a wealthy heiress, and a group of con artists. The novel is a humorous and satirical commentary on American society and its attitudes towards difference and individuality. It explores themes of identity, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness, and is a testament to Twain's wit and storytelling abilities.""Why, ma, yes you do. They're so fine and handsome, and high-bred and polite, so every way superior to our gawks here in this village; why, they'll make life different from what it was--so humdrum and commonplace, you know--oh, you may be sure they're full of accomplishments, and knowledge of the world, and all that, that will be an immense advantage to society here. Don't you think so, ma?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
