Sore Ha Dotchidatta Ka

[Machine Translation] The fruit of disaster is growing by one more fruit - Indiantown, a rural town in the American South before the Civil War. The town's prominent citizens are endlessly corrupted by their "lies." Twain's sharp observations of people and his critical spirit toward the America of his time emerge in his unique style of writing, which is a mixture of horror and laughter. This is the first Japanese translation of his late masterpiece! Includes the original short story "Indiantown" (1899), also translated for the first time in Japan.
