What is Man? and Other Essays
“What Is Man?”, published by Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position. This collection of short stories covers a wide range of Twain’s interests: the serious, the political and the ironically humorous. [chương_files]

In the Seven Woods
In the Seven Woods (1904) is Yeats’s first twentieth-century poetry collection. Its fourteen poems show him moving steadily away from the decisively Romantic diction of his earlier work. Here we hear a poetic voice that is at once more individual, colloquial and dramatic than previously. In addition, several poems sound a note of bitter lamentation over the marriage in 1903 of Maud Gonne, Yeats’s great love and muse, to John MacBride. (Summary by Kasper Nijsen) [chương_files]
