Christian Science

Más información sobre el libro

Mark Twain's exploration of Christian Science combines humor and critique, reflecting his interest in mental healing while expressing skepticism towards its founder, Mary Baker Eddy. The collection begins with an essay originally published in Cosmopolitan in 1899, where Twain recounts a fictional incident of falling off a cliff in Austria and the subsequent attempts at "absent healing" by a local practitioner. Through witty storytelling, Twain delves into the complexities of faith and healing, offering both entertainment and insight into his views on the movement.
