E-text prepared by Timo Ervasti and Tapio Riikonen "Taivasko vai helvetti y.m. humoreskeja" by Mark Twain is a collection of humorous sketches written in the early 20th century. The work reflects Twain's signature wit and satire, capturing various themes through a mix of fictional characters and narratives. The opening portion touches on diverse characters and situations, setting the tone for playful yet poignant storytelling. The beginning of the collection introduces us to various characters through a story that revolves around Colonel Mayfair, a resolute yet melancholic officer, and his family during the tumultuous times of Oliver Cromwell’s rule. As winter rage outside their home, the colonel and his wife, together with their young daughter Abby, navigate the weight of impending troubles, momentarily distracted by their daughter’s innocent charm. Abby’s desire for a story reveals layers of familial love and societal context, providing a glimpse into the era’s complexities and the human condition. The opening sets a foundation for Twain's exploration of themes such as duty, innocence, and the juxtaposition of humor amidst grave circumstances, inviting readers to engage with his insightful prose.
