Publisher's Synopsis
Those Extraordinary Twins is a novel written by Mark Twain. The story revolves around two conjoined twins, Angelo and Luigi, who are joined at the hip. The twins are very different from each other in terms of personality and interests. Angelo is intelligent, witty, and has a sharp tongue, while Luigi is simple-minded, kind-hearted, and physically stronger.The story is set in a small town in the southern United States, where the twins are put on display as a freak show attraction. They are treated as objects of curiosity and ridicule by the townspeople. However, their lives take an unexpected turn when they are accused of a crime they did not commit. The twins are forced to use their unique abilities to solve the mystery and clear their names.Throughout the novel, Twain explores themes of identity, prejudice, and the human condition. He also uses the twins' unique situation to comment on the societal attitudes towards people who are different. The book is a blend of humor, satire, and social commentary, making it a thought-provoking and entertaining read.""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.
