Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven

More about the book

Captain Elias Stormfield embarks on a cosmic journey to Heaven after a mishap involving a comet. Throughout his adventures, he encounters the souls of famous biblical figures like Adam, Moses, and Elijah, revealing their celebrity status in Heaven parallels that of earthly fame. Mark Twain critiques the absurdities of traditional beliefs about Heaven, employing his signature hyperbole to highlight the incongruities within these notions. This story, published posthumously, reflects Twain's sharp wit and unique perspective on spirituality and celebrity culture.
