Omschrijving
Mark Twain's final and uncensored masterpiece, presented in three volumes, is a landmark publication in American literature. "Twain will begin to seem strange again, alluring and still astonishing . . . in ways that still resonate with us."--New York Times
"A pointillist masterpiece from which his vision of America--half paradise, half swindle--emerges with indelible force."--Publishers Weekly
"His crystalline humor and expansive range are a continuous source of delight and awe."--Los Angeles Times Book Review Mark Twain's complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the author's death, as he requested. Published to rave reviews, the Autobiography was hailed as the capstone of Twain's career. It captures his authentic and unsuppressed voice, speaking clearly from the grave and brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Mark Twain's life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Filled with his characteristic blend of humor and ire, the narrative ranges effortlessly across the contemporary scene. He shares his views on writing and speaking, his preoccupation with money, and his contempt for the politics and politicians of his day. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Editors: Benjamin Griffin and Harriet E. Smith
Associate Editors: Victor Fischer, Michael B. Frank, Sharon K. Goetz and Leslie Diane Myrick
