The Mysterious Stranger and Other Stories


Gelesen von Ted Delorme

(4.7 stars; 104 reviews)

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.

Mysterious Stranger


(5 stars)

Hold on to your bible while you listen to Satan describe the folly of mankind. Amazing production. Excellent reading. Full of personality and depth of character. Good thing they didn't burn Samuel Clemens at the stake for writing this!

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.

I really enjoyed the stories and the most excellent reader. A different aspect of Mark Twain's writing revealed. I wish he had done more in this genre.

Not the typical Mark Twain story.

This story was not in the typical Mark Twain vein, it was a little disturbing. The reader did a great job.

Reeling from the talent of this reader! Thank you! Portraying anguish/despair by placing your hand over your mouth was an impressive touch.
