«L'home que va corrompre Hadleyburg» is Mark Twain's satirical tale, published by Edicions Bromera in paperback (120 pages, in Valencian).
A stranger arrives in Hadleyburg, a town famous for its honesty, with a sack of gold coins and a note: the money will go to whoever proves to have been his anonymous benefactor years ago. The only candidate has died, and greed unmasks the town's double morality. Twain uses the premise to attack, with irony, the hypocritical virtue of deep America.
It belongs to the collection 'A la lluna de València' (no. 28), with a translation by Josep Marco; the work was originally published in English in 1898.
For those who enjoy classic fiction and social criticism with irony.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
