It was in 1590-winter. Austria was far away from the world, and asleep; it was still the Middle Ages in Austria, and promised to remain so forever. Some even set it away back centuries upon centuries and said that by the mental and spiritual clock it was still the Age of Belief in Austria. But they meant it as a compliment, not a slur, and it was so taken, and we were all proud of it. I remember it well, although I was only a boy; and I remember, too, the pleasure it gave me. Yes, Austria was far from the world, and asleep, and our village was in the middle of that sleep, being in the middle of Austria.

The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916, belongs to Twain's "dark" period. At the time of composition, Twain had suffered a series of painful physical, economic, and emotional losses. In his chilling tale, a stranger named Satan visits an old Austrian town to convince the religious faithful that there is no God, and "nothing exists; all is a dream."
