    About this audiobook

    Mark Twain imagines a debate between a youthful idealist and an elderly realist on the nature of man and morality. Is Man's Sole Impulse the Securing of His Own Approval? Do we love God, or just love God's Frequent Prayer Program? Is what we call self-sacrifice really self-delusion? What's the Christian amount to tip a waiter? A spirited and passionate discussion.
