Charles Neider, 1915 - 2001 Charles Neider was born in 1915 in Odessa, Russia. At the age of 5, he and his family moved to the United States, settling in Richmond, Virginia. Neider later moved to New York and attended City College. In 1959, his most famous book was published entitled, "The mostrar más Autobiography of Mark Twain," which was later named as one of the 100 Best Nonfiction books written in English during the 20th Century by the Modern Library.

Complete Short Stories of Mark Twain. Now Collected… por Mark Twain
They are all here, and of varying quality, but necessary for the enjoyment of the master.
½I know I read the complete short stories a very long time ago for my sophomore year English paper and some had stuck but it was a great joy to read them all again. They are arranged chronologically and it really showed the increasingly cynical and barbed wit but all are so fantastic. I may need to read some of the novels and travel books now.
Life itself is only a vision, a dream.

“Where is this John Wilson Mackenzie?” said he.
“Dead.”
“When did he die?”
“He didn’t die at all – he was killed.”
“How?”
“Tomahawked.”
“Who tomahawked him?”
“Why, an Indian, of course. You didn’t suppose it was the superintendent of a Sunday-school, did you?”
