The last story published by Twain, in 1909, tells of Captain Elias Stormfield’s journey to heaven and his experiences there. This irreverent satire punctures conventional religious views of the afterlife and delivers a sharp critique of so-called human virtues—which are often humanity’s own vanities in disguise.
