By: Mark Twain   | Series: Library of America Mark Twain Edition 
"Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand," Mark Twain once wrote. In this sixth volume in The Library of America's authoritative collection of his writings-the final volume of his fiction-America's greatest humorist emerges in a surprising range of roles: as the savvy satirist of The Gilded Age, the brilliant plotter of its inventive sequel, The American Claimant, and, in two Tom Sawyer novels, as the acknowledged master revisiting his best-loved characters. Also in this volume is the authoritative version of Twain's haunting last novel, No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger, left unpublished when he died.

The Gilded Age (1873), a collaboration with Hartford neighbor Charles Dudley Warner, sends up an age when vast fortunes piled up amid thriving corruption and a city Twain knew well, Washington, D.C., full of would-be power brokers and humbug. The novel also gives us one of Twain's most enduring characters, Colonel Sellers, who returns in The American Claimant (1892), an encore performance that moves beyond the worldly satire of its predecessor into realms of sheer inventive mayhem.

Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894) and Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896) extend the adventures of Huck and Tom. No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger (1908), an astonishing psychic adventure set in the gothic gloom of a medieval Austrian village, offers a powerful and uncanny exploration of the powers of the human mind.

MOM-1, PANTS-1...well, I guess we both win
Size: 32, Color: Black
Purchased for my 17 yr old son, about 6'2, 180, medium built. PROS -Black pair is a nice happy medium between faded black and pitch dark. -Roomy around the waist, but not enough for children to sag (no, no, no,) -excellent price for quality of product CONS -might be too comfortable for wearer, resulting in an request for an abnormal amount of additional pairs -consistent compliments for wearer could cause inflated ego or confidence OVERALL I didn't hear any complaints from my son or "can you return this" which is a WIN for me, bc he's usually very picky. it's a whole thing with the length and the thickness, color, all of it. I thought these pants looked really nice, the color was casual enough for friends, and dressy enough for church. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a big fan of belts, but he is not comfortable with sagging (thank goodness), and the fit around the waist provided enough support to stay where they needed to. Pants also did not scrunch up at the bottom, and did not fit like capris. Product title described product to a T (or pants): slim fit stretch comfort casual classic solid- it was all of those in one!

Super long length but quality fabric
Size: 28, Color: Army Green
Fits more like skinny jeans rather than slim fit. It’s a size 28 so my waist fits fine but the length is super long for no reason. I decided to keep it due to the fabric material feeling. I fold the bottom of the pants to make it look for fit. I’m 5’4.

Buying more pairs.
Size: 36, Color: Purple
True to fit and extremely comfy. Even tho the title says mens, it’s designed like a womens when it comes to the pockets. Not deep pockets. If you want a tight fit go a size smaller, if you want a baggy fit go size bigger. Color is how you see it in photos.
