A Twain executor stitches together a grab bag of itineraries, notes and maxims from notebooks, diaries and loose scraps of paper. Here a maxim used in "Pudd'nhead Wilson" is attributed to Andrew Carnegie: "Put all your eggs in one basket -- and watch that basket." My favorite quote imagines Satan in discontent: "The trouble with you Chicago people is that you think you are the best people in hell -- whereas you are merely the most numerous." sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This book contains a collection of writings taken from Mark Twain s notebooks. In his journal, Twain recorded in random phrase and fashion, whatever seemed to him worth noting, dealing with a wide range of subjects ranging from politics and religion to the divine right of kings and general personalities. A fascinating and thought-provoking read, this volume constitutes a must-have for fans and collectors of Twain s seminal work. Contents include: The River And The Mines, The Sandwich Islands, Honolulu, Honolulu To San Francisco, A Grim Voyage To New York, Beginning A Literary Epoch, Athens, Constantinople, Ephesus, Syria And The Holy Land, Supplementary Holy Land, Egypt And Home, etcetera. Albert Bigelow Paine (1861 - 1937), was an American author and biographer best known for his work with Mark Twain. Paine was a member of the Pulitzer Prize Committee and wrote in several genres, including fiction, humor, and verse. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
