“It’s easier to fool a person than to prove to them that they’ve been fooled,” said Mark Twain—the world-famous American writer, journalist, and public figure. Based on his personal experience in journalism and politics, he reflected this in his articles and stories, as well as in sharp, full of sarcasm remarks about those who rule people with various manipulations and shape public consciousness. The best of Mark Twain’s articles, stories, and aphorisms have been included in this book.
