Those Extraordinary Twins by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: comedy
In Those Extraordinary Twins, Mark Twain spins a sharp, mischievous tale set in the small river town of Dawson's Landing, Missouri, where reputation is everything and gossip travels faster than the current. The town is shaken up by the arrival of Luigi and Angelo Capello, two Italian brothers who are conjoined twins - distinct in temperament and desires, yet forced to navigate American life as a single public spectacle. As locals alternately patronize, fear, and exploit them, the twins try to claim ordinary dignity in an extraordinary circumstance. Their presence soon collides with the town's fragile social order, drawing in judges, lawyers, and citizens eager to turn novelty into profit, pity into power, and curiosity into condemnation. When a tangled chain of misunderstandings and accusations pushes the twins into the machinery of the legal system, Twain uses courtroom theater and small-town prejudice to expose how easily

Europe and Elsewhere by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: comedy
In Europe and Elsewhere, Mark Twain turns his sharp eye and sharper wit on the rituals, pretensions, and everyday oddities he encounters abroad and at home. Drawn from his travel pieces and occasional writings, this collection follows Twain as he sizes up grand monuments and small inconveniences alike, comparing Old World traditions to American habits with a comic sense of proportion that never lets pomposity go unpunished. Whether he is describing the theater of polite society, the chaos of tourism, or the strange logic of official rules, Twain writes as a companionable guide who is always ready to puncture a solemn mood with a perfectly timed aside. The 'elsewhere' expands beyond geography into reflections on politics, culture, and human nature, revealing how quickly people invent stories to defend their customs and how stubbornly they cling to them. Beneath the laughter runs a consistent tension: the narrator wants to admire what is noble and beautiful, but cannot ignore the absurdity that tags along. The result is a spirited, bite-sized tour through Twain's classic voice - skeptical, observant, and irresistibly funny.

Following the Equator by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: adventure
Following the Equator (American English title) or More Tramps Abroad (English title) is a non-fiction travelogue published by American author Mark Twain in 1897.
Twain was practically bankrupt in 1894 due to a failed investment into a 'revolutionary' typesetting machine. In an attempt to extricate himself from debt of $100,000 (equivalent of about $2 million in 2005) he undertook a tour of the British Empire in 1895, a route chosen to provide numerous opportunities for lectures in the English language.
In Following the Equator, an account of that travel published in 1897, the author unmasks and criticizes racism, imperialism and missionary zeal in observations woven into the narrative with classical Twain wit.
Of particular interest, historically, are Twain's references to Cecil Rhodes in Australia and South Africa, the in-depth description of 'Thugs' and 'Thuggee' in India and the Boer War period and diamonds in South Africa.
