Mark Twain: A Biography. Volume 2: 1886-1910
Mark Twain: A Biography. Volume 2: 1886-1910 – Albert Bigelow Paine
Mark Twain’s humour has secured him a large audience not only in America and this country, but also in Germany and other Continental countries. It is the dry, incisive humour of a shrewd man of the world who, having gone through life with his eyes wide open, has cheered himself by laughing not merely at the faibles of his fellow-men, but, by implication, at his own as well. He was not very reverent in his attitude towards what he considers worn-out survivals of old beliefs and superstitions, and sometimes poked fun without much discrimination. This is volume two out of two of one of the best biographies ever written … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Gilded Age
The Gilded Age – Mark Twain
Ladies and gentlemen, there are many American writers today who in their way are great, and many, many more during this man’s life have come and gone—but Samuel L. Clemens, the delight of our fathers and our grandfathers, who. with his same brilliant wit and humor was wilting of the Mississippi River and its first steamboat in the “Gilded Age” of the old South before the war, appears with us tonight as young in spirit, as humorous and as handsome as he ever was, and our only hope is that like Tennyson’s Brook and the application of steam to navigation by Robert Fulton he will “roll on and on forever.”

Mark Twain’s Letters
Mark Twain’s Letters – Mark Twain
Like his other writings, Mark Twain’s letters attest that he was not the greatest of all humorists, but that he did have an amazing gift of depicting the average American, and what is more, that he could do it sympathetically and from the inside of the house, not ironically through the window as Thackeray depicted the absurdities of his contemporaries. The letters show, also, what a storybook life he led. Born obscurely in a western town without advantages, half-educated as a typesetter for a country newspaper, a runaway, a soldier “riding a small yellow mule” to the aid of the Confederacy, a runaway again, a mining prospector familiar with mountain gambling-saloons, a news reporter, … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

What is Man? And other essays
What is Man? And other essays – Mark Twain
Twain, embraces some of the latter day thoughts of the great humorist, some shorter and lighter sketches, together with the radical paper from which the book takes its name, never before given public circulation. Among the essays included in the collection are: “The Death of Jean,” “The Memorable Assassination,” “A Scrap of Curious History,” “A Simplified Alphabet,” and “Taming the Bicycle.” In “The Bee” (published for the first time) there are some deliciously funny paragraphs; such as: “Bee scientists always speak of the bee as she. It is because all the important bees are of that sex. In the hive there is one married bee called the queen; she has fifty-thousand … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Mysterious Stranger (and other stories)
The Mysterious Stranger (and other stories) – Mark Twain
Three Austrian boys, in 1590, meet a mysterious stranger, who calls himself an angel, yet is named Satan. He is a fascinating companion, performing miracles that charm the boys, but they soon find out that he has no Moral Sense. In fact, he scorns Moral Sense, as the thing that gives the Human Race its finishing touch of ubnoxiousness. The lives of the villagers arc turned from their predestined paths by his casual interference. He is willing to do a person a good turn, since it costs him nothing, but in several cases his kindness consists in bringing about the early death of his beneficiaries. And such acts he justifies. In … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Mark Twain’s Speeches
Mark Twain’s Speeches – Mark Twain
This book reveals Mark Twain in a new and interesting phase. Mark Twain was first of all a lecturer, almost before he began to write. Conceived and composed to be spoken, these speeches are even more simple and direct than his written works. These speeches are all humorous in their style and method. They show one remarkable thing about Mark Twain’s work, whether spoken or writteu — he never repeated himself. It naturally follows that these lectures cover almost every conceivable subject, from weather and women to politics and fishing. The speeches of Mark Twain, in point of time, cover a little more than half his life. Many of them were delivered at important … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Is Shakespeare Dead?
Is Shakespeare Dead? – Mark Twain
“Is Shakespeare Dead?” is a scholarly work of profound erudition, and has been accepted by critics as the final word on the Baconian controversy. No Shakespearite after reading it can longer cling to the Stratford fallacy. The author reasons logically that the writer of the plays could not have been Shakespeare, because they exhibit an intimate knowledge of the technicalities of the law, and there is no evidence that Shakespeare, the actor, had at any time the leisure to acquire legal lore.

Christian Science – Mark Twain
Mark Twain wrote this book about Christian Science in 1907, three years before his death. Although he was most interested in spirituality and the basics of mental healing, he was a fierce enemy of Mrs. Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science movement. The essays in this book highlight what Twain really thought about this religious movement.
