Mark Twain

If they ask me: "Why do you think that Mark Twain is a great person" I would answer: "Really don't you think that someone who posess the power to make even one person happy is a great person?".

And that is true. When I'm reading my favorite books about Tom Sawyer and his friends and espetially about the prince and the pauper I fell myself free to travel between times an spaces, to meet new people, to learn more about many things. Isn't it a miracle?

I like the worlds of Mark Twain because they full of surprises and adventures. When you deep into it, you loose your body, you can become anyone you want and go through such things you never expected to exist.

And the second thing gives me confidence in importance of this writer is his beleif in triumph of good and justice. In his world good deeds always are rewarded and evil is punished. It's a real model to follow. If only our life would be such good! And there is no values in Twain's world exept the value of sincearly frienship, purity of thougts and deeds - nothing else can make you happy, I learnt it by Mark Twain and was convinced of it on my own experience.

All this reasons are enough cause for feeling happy when reading the book, aren't they?

There is no need to explain: Mark Twain is a magican and nowadays in the age of hi tecnologies and rational mind all we need is a miracle, a tale and a little bit of human feelings. That's why the best classical books like Mark Twain's can never be replaced by computers or anything else. The centuries will pass but children allways will love wonders and books by Mark Twain.
