1919 Mark TWAIN True 1^st/1^st Curious Republic of Gondour Political Satire

 

“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

― Mark Twain

 

Mark Twain and his works were immensely popular all on their own. Such notable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn stood out about other 19^th-century literary characters, and not just in the United States.

 

‘The Curious Republic of Gondour’ is a short story by Twain, a fictitious satire full of social and political commentary. It is one of Twain’s least known works, however, it was reprinted throughout the 20^th-century.
