Written over a period of 40 years, the pieces in the anthology are characterized by a sense of ironic pessimism. The title piece comprises letters written by Satan to his fellow angels about the shameless pride and foolishness of humans. \"Papers of the Adam Family,\" a first-person family history of Adam and Eve, traces the first failed attempts at civilization. Other pieces include \"A Cat-Tale,\" an amusing, alliterative bedtime story; \"Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses,\" a critique of that author's style; and \"The Damned Human Race,\" a collection of bitter satirical bits. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 7.99 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 29, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42118313050247,"sku":"9781463646226","price":10.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/59e7b7ac0c533f21eeac6824ff0c7d9c.webp?v=1732532234","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/letters-from-the-earth-paperback-2","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
