Extract From Captain Stormfields Visit To Heaven - Mark Twain 1909
"Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven" is a story written by American writer Mark Twain. It first appeared in print in Harper's Magazine in December 1907 and January 1908, and was published in book form in 1909. This was the last story published by Twain. The story follows Captain Elias Stormfield on his decades long journey to Heaven; his accidental misplacement after racing a comet; his short-lived interest in singing and playing the harp (generated by his preconceptions of heaven); and the general obsession of souls with the celebrities of Heaven such as Adam, Moses, and Elijah. Twain uses this story to show his view that Heaven is ludicrous, and points out the incongruities of such beliefs with his characteristic adroit usage of hyperbole.”
