Captain Stormfield’s Visit To Heaven By Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven is a short-story

written by American writer Mark Twain and published in

1909. The story follows Captain Stormfield on his

extremely long cosmic journey to heaven, his accidental

misplacement, his short-lived interest in singing and

playing the harp, and the obsession of souls with the

“celebrities” of heaven, like Adam and Moses, whom,

according to Twain, become as distant to most people in

heaven as living celebrities are on Earth. Twain uses this story to show his view that the common conception of heaven is ludicrous and points out the incongruities of such beliefs. (from Wikipedia)
