“The Old Man had asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objected, and asked him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position.”

EPUB + COMPLETE AUDIOBOOK

Is a human being an independent moral agent—or a machine shaped by heredity, environment, and the need for self-approval? In the title dialogue, Mark Twain sets an Old Man and a Young Man against one another in a sharp, unsettling argument about free will. Fifteen additional essays move from grief and memory to language, tobacco, bicycles, Shakespeare, history, and Twain’s unmistakable satire.
