Produktbeschreibung
"Start (an autobiography) at no particular time of your life; wander at your free will all over your life; talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment; drop it the moment its interest threatens to pale, and turn your talk upon the new and more interesting thing that has intruded itself into your mind meantime." -Mark Twain Mark Twain's Autobiography published posthumously in 1924, was the result of Mark Twain's writings between 1870 and 1909. Even though his intent was to have his autobiography published posthumously, he did publish twenty-five pieces of autobiographical work as Chapters from My Autobiography in the North American Review in 1906-7. Twain's friend, literary executor and biographer, Albert Bigelow Paine (1861-1937) was the first to collect Twain's papers and edited this edition of Mark Twain's Autobiography. Although other autobiographical works of Mark Twain have been published since, this replica is a must-have for Twain aficionados and book collectors.
Autorenporträt
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer. Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel". Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he invested in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its complexity and imprecision. In the wake of these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers eventually overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
