翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Letters from the Earth ： ウィキペディア英語版 Letters from the Earth ''Letters from the Earth'' is a posthumously published work of celebrated American author Mark Twain (1835–1910). It comprises essays written during a difficult time in Twain's life (1904-09), when he was deeply in debt and had recently lost his wife and one of his daughters.〔 The content concerns morality and religion and strikes a sarcastic — Twain's own term throughout the book — tone. Initially, another of his daughters, Clara Clemens, objected to its publication in March 1939,〔 probably because of its controversial and iconoclastic views on religion, claiming it presented a ''"distorted"'' view of her father. Henry Nash Smith helped change her position in 1960.〔 Clara explained her change of heart in 1962 saying that ''"Mark Twain belonged to the world"'' and that public opinion had become more tolerant. She was also influenced to release the papers by her annoyance with Soviet reports that her father's ideas were being suppressed in the United States.〔 The papers were selected, edited and sequenced for the book in 1939 by Bernard DeVoto.〔 ==Content== ''Letters from the Earth'' consists of a series of commentaries in essay and short story form. Many of these pieces express Twain's discomfort with and disdain for Christianity, both as a theological position and a lifestyle. The title story consists of eleven letters written by the archangel Satan to archangels Gabriel and Michael,〔 about his observations on the curious proceedings of earthly life and the nature of man's religions. Other pieces in the book include a morality tale told as a bedtime discussion with Twain's children, Susy and Clara, about a family of cats, and an essay explaining why an anaconda is morally superior to Man. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Letters from the Earth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
