Mark TwainThe Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories (May 6, 2008)

LibriVox recording of The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories, by Mark Twain. Read by Ted Delorme.

Here's a Mark Twain story that's very unlike those he became famous for, but when I read it back in Catholic high school, it left a deep impression. It concerns the deeply religious residents of a small village in Austria during the late sixteenth century, and what happened to several of them when a strange man began to visit their insulated homeland. There's little of Twain's humor here; this is a horror story, a parable. . . and a warning.

(Summary by Ted Delorme)

Subject: Wonderful rendition
I read this book as a teenager. Ted's reading of this book is as good as any commercially available or Library of Congress audio book I have ever listened to. I found it absolutely riveting. I read it as a teenager. The edition had beautiful color illustrations. Many of these came to mind as I listened to this reading. The material is very thought provoking. Highly recommend.
