Tom Sawyer Abroad by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: adventure
When Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer stumble onto a mysterious balloon, they find themselves swept into a journey far beyond the Mississippi River. Narrated in Huck's plainspoken, observant voice, the story launches the boys - along with their loyal friend Jim - into an accidental voyage over the Atlantic and into the deserts and ancient wonders of North Africa and the Middle East. Tom, brimming with confidence and book-learned ideas about science, geography, and adventure tales, insists he can steer their fate with clever plans and big speeches. Huck, more practical and skeptical, watches events unfold with a mix of awe, worry, and sharp humor, while Jim tries to keep the group grounded as danger and uncertainty mount. As they drift over unfamiliar landscapes, face natural threats, and encounter people and places that challenge their assumptions, the trio must rely on courage, wit, and each other to survive. Both travel yarn and satire, this classic Twain sequel pokes fun at romantic adventure stories while delivering a fast-moving tale of friendship, mischief, and the perils of overconfidence.

The Gilded Age, A Tale of Today by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: drama
The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today is an 1873 novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that satirizes greed and political corruption in post-Civil War America. The term gilded age, commonly given to the era, comes from the title of this book. Twain and Warner got the name from Shakespeare's King John (1595): 'To gild refined gold, to paint the lily... is wasteful and ridiculous excess.' Gilding a lily, which is already beautiful and not in need of further adornment, is excessive and wasteful, characteristics of the age Twain and Warner wrote about in their novel. Another interpretation of the title, of course, is the contrast between an ideal 'Golden Age,' and a less worthy 'Gilded Age,' as gilding is only a thin layer of gold over baser metal, so the title now takes on a pejorative meaning as to the novel's time, events and people.
Although not one of Twain's more well-known works, it has appeared in more than 100 editions since its original publication in 1873. Twain and Warner originally had planned to issue the novel with illustrations by Thomas Nast. The book is remarkable for two reasons–-it is the only novel Twain wrote with a collaborator, and its title very quickly became synonymous with graft, materialism, and corruption in public life.

The Treaty With China by Mark Twain audiobook.
Genre: history
First published in the New York Tribune on August 28, 1868, The Treaty With China, its Provisions Explained is Mark Twain at his most sharp-eyed and plainspoken, turning a dense diplomatic document into a lively, provocative listening experience. With the newly concluded U.S.-China treaty (often associated with diplomat Anson Burlingame) as his framework, Twain walks the listener article by article through what the agreement actually says, why each clause exists, and who stands to gain or lose. He translates legal phrasing into everyday language, then widens the lens to the realities of foreign power in China, the pressures of trade and extraterritorial privilege, and the long history of mistrust created by meddling outsiders. Back in the United States, he aims his wit at the politics of immigration and the cruelty and hypocrisy faced by Chinese residents, especially on the Pacific coast, while also addressing issues like religious liberty, consular protection, and the fight against coerced labor. Part civics lesson, part moral argument, Twain's commentary asks what a fair international relationship should look like when prejudice and profit are both on the table.
