Letters From the Earth
by Twain, Mark
Mark Twain's Letters from the Earth is a posthumously published collection of fragments, short stories, and essays.
In one tale, The Damned Human Race, Twain proves in a well-formed, comprehensive argument, that an anaconda snake is a higher form of life than English nobility.
The title tale, Letters from the Earth, consists of letters written by the archangel Satan to other archangels in Heaven about the ridiculous nature of human religious beliefs.
