இந்த மின்புத்தகத்தைப் பற்றி

The American Claimant' is arguably Mark Twain's finest comic novel, although its reputation remains obscure. It is a surreal and farcical comedy of paradox and mistaken identity...and Twain additionally claimed it to be the only fiction book ever written which doesn't mention the weather!
