  The Curious Book

  A Dramatic Romance So Bad It’s Brilliant. 
  Step into the wildly over-the-top world of The Curious Book (originally titled The Enemy Conquered; or, Love Triumphant), Mark Twain’s wickedly funny satire of 19th-century romantic fiction. 
  In a tale dripping with flowery prose, impossible heroics, and swooning declarations of love, we meet the valiant Major Elfonzo—a man of honor, swordplay, and strangely poetic monologues. His heart beats only for the lovely Ambulinia, whose beauty is rivaled only by her baffling metaphors. But standing between them? An angry father, absurd obstacles, and enough melodrama to fuel a dozen dime novels. 
  Narrated with impeccable timing and sly humor by Jim Foster, this audiobook brings Twain’s parody to life with flair. Perfect for fans of literary humor, classic satire, or anyone who enjoys a good laugh at bad romance. 
  Whether you're a Twain enthusiast or a curious listener looking for something delightfully ridiculous, The Curious Book promises laughs, gasps, and a whole lot of purple prose.
