This classic tale by Mark Twain humorously and sharply critiques political hypocrisy through the story of a mysterious stranger who arrives in the supposedly honest town of Hadleyburg. Using an clever sting operation, the stranger exposes the town’s citizens and their concealed greed and dishonesty. Twain’s wit and keen insight into civic virtue and deception remain strikingly relevant today.
