"The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" is a compilation of writings by Mark Twain that takes place in the small town of Hadleyburg. The town is plagued by corruption, and the only way to fix the problem is for the town's leader, Mr. Miller, to step down. However, Miller is unwilling to leave his position and instead uses his power to sexually harass women. Twain uses the town's corruption as a backdrop for his satirical observations on American society.; 8vo; 364 pages; 55010: 25 volume set.
