Mark Twain afiló su narrativa y cimentó su éxito en el género del cuento. Sus relatos se caracterizan por unas tramas ingeniosas, una inventiva inagotable, unos personajes inolvidables, un genial sentido del humor y por su excepcional uso del lenguaje, que traza un vívido retrato de la sociedad de su tiempo. Genio y figura, el propio Twain defendía así sus relatos: "Me gusta una vuenta historia bien contada. Por esa misma razón, a veces me veo obligado a contarlas yo mismo".

Esta edición es la más completa de la narrativa breve de Twain. La componen todas sus piezas cortas, sesenta textos magníficamente traducidos. Asimismo presenta una excelente introducción de Charles Neider, reconocido como uno de los mejores especialistas en la vida y la obra de este coloso de las letras.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist and essayist. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature." His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel." Twain also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894), and co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.

Es un libro impresionante, la ironía de Mark Twain no tiene límites. Algunos cuentos son verdaderas obras maestras.
