In The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg, Mark Twain delivers a sharp and biting satire on greed, hypocrisy, and human nature. Hadleyburg is a town renowned for its honesty—until a mysterious stranger arrives with a scheme to expose the townspeople’s true character. When a tempting bag of gold is introduced under the guise of a moral test, the once-principled citizens find themselves entangled in deception, proving that even the most virtuous reputations can be easily shattered.
A masterful exploration of integrity and corruption, The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg remains one of Twain’s most thought-provoking and darkly humorous works. Experience this classic tale in an immersive audio adaptation, brought to you by Public Domain Stories.
