“How blind and unreasoning and arbitrary are some of the laws of nature - the most of them, in fact!”

? Mark Twain, The Double-Barrelled Detective



Mark Twain was one of the most popular and beloved American authors of the 19th-century. His works have become a mainstay in American literature, creating characters such as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. By the end of 1800s, British author Arthur Conan Doyle created a famous detective character Sherlock Holmes, of whom Twain was quite fond. Twain developed his own parodic version of Holmes in his book A Double Barrelled Detective Story” which was first published in 1902. Twain puts Sherlock Holmes in the United States and creates a satirical world for him to discover.
