What is Man? and Other Essays
Mark Twain
Leído por John Greenman
"What Is Man?", published by Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position. This collection of short stories covers a wide range of Twain's interests: the serious, the political and the ironically humorous. (Summary by Wikipedia and John Greenman) (10 hr 37 min)

Reseñas
A worthwhile listen.
Alan H.
Entertaining, as usual, but more thought provoking & informative than some, perhaps. The Shakespeare stuff was new to me and blew my mind. (I am no fan of Shakespeare.)
Recommended!

Essays mostly entertaining (I found the quibble about Shakespeare irrelevant) by the great Mark Twain. Read very effectively by Mr. Greenman.

john greenman is clearly channeling mark Twain.
Lloyd Boone
Terrible rendition! Reader should not speak the words "om" and "ym" but simply read the dialog only for each party. As is, it is very annoying to listen to.
excellent reading
