No. 44, le mystérieux étranger

In a sleepy Austrian village in 1490, a mysterious young stranger calling himself No. 44 arrives at a print shop and reveals dazzling, unsettling powers. Claiming to be an angel and nephew of Satan, he upends the lives and certainties of all around him in a dark, dreamlike fable on free will, reality and human folly. Mark Twain’s strange, posthumous masterpiece, here in a free and faithful translation.
