Summary

Mark Twain: Number 44, Mysterious Stranger

During the last ten years of his life, Mark Twain worked in parallel on three mysterious manuscripts with the action set in the past and in three different environments, but with the same diabolically charming stranger - young Satan - after the appearance of which unusual supernaturals are ordered among people events…

It turned out to be the latter and the best, with the fewest editorial interventions, with a particularly intriguing last chapter in which the author through Unholy, who presents himself as "Number 44, new series 864,962", reckons with both people and God, so at one point he says that, in fact, nothing exists "not even God, neither the universe, nor the human race, nor life on Earth, nor heaven, nor hell.
