Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: o Includes the authoritative texts for eleven pieces written between 1868 and 1902 o Publishes, for the first time, the complete text of "Villagers of 1840-3," Mark Twain's astounding feat of memory o Features a biographical directory and notes that reflect extensive new research on Mark Twain's early life in Missouri Throughout his career, Mark Twain frequently turned for inspiration to memories of his youth in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. What has come to be known as the Matter of Hannibal inspired two of his most famous books, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and provided the basis for the eleven pieces reprinted here. Most of these selections (eight of them fiction and three of them autobiographical) were never completed, and all were left unpublished. Written between 1868 and 1902, they include a diverse assortment of adventures, satires, and reminiscences in which the characters of his own childhood and of his best-loved fiction, particularly Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, come alive again. The autobiographical recollections culminate in an astounding feat of memory titled "Villagers of 1840-3" in which the author, writing for himself alone at the age of sixty-one, recalls with humor and pathos the characters of some one hundred and fifty people from his childhood. Accompanied by notes that reflect extensive new research on Mark Twain's early life in Missouri, the selections in this volume offer a revealing view of Mark Twain's varied and repeated attempts to give literary expression to the Matter of Hannibal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An audacious and revisionary sequel to Twain’s masterpiece. It is both true to the spirit of Twain and quintessentially Cooveresque." —Times Literary Supplement At the end of Huckleberry Finn, on the eve of the Civil War, Huck and Tom Sawyer decide to escape “sivilization” and “light out for the Territory.” In Robert Coover’s vision of their Western adventures, Tom decides he’d rather own civilization than escape it, leaving Huck “dreadful lonely” in a country of bandits, war parties, and gold. In the course of his ventures, Huck reunites with old friends, facing hard truths and even harder choices.

Download or read book Mark Twain among the Indians and Other Indigenous Peoples written by Kerry Driscoll and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain among the Indians and Other Indigenous Peoples is the first book-length study of the writer’s evolving views regarding the aboriginal inhabitants of North America and the Southern Hemisphere, and his deeply conflicted representations of them in fiction, newspaper sketches, and speeches. Using a wide range of archival materials—including previously unexamined marginalia in books from Clemens’s personal library—Driscoll charts the development of the writer’s ethnocentric attitudes about Indians and savagery in relation to the various geographic and social milieus of communities he inhabited at key periods in his life, from antebellum Hannibal, Missouri, and the Sierra Nevada mining camps of the 1860s to the progressive urban enclave of Hartford’s Nook Farm. The book also examines the impact of Clemens’s 1895–96 world lecture tour, when he traveled to Australia and New Zealand and learned firsthand about the dispossession and mistreatment of native peoples under British colonial rule. This groundbreaking work of cultural studies offers fresh readings of canonical texts such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Roughing It, and Following the Equator, as well as a number of Twain’s shorter works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' are widely regarded as classic works of American literature. 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' follows the mischievous young boy Tom Sawyer as he navigates the challenges of boyhood in the antebellum South, showcasing Twain's skillful use of satire and humor. In contrast, 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' delves into deeper themes of morality and freedom as Huck Finn and the runaway slave Jim embark on a journey down the Mississippi River, tackling issues of racism and society. Twain's distinctive literary style is characterized by his keen observations of human nature and his ability to convey complex ideas in a straightforward manner. Mark Twain, a pseudonym for Samuel Clemens, drew inspiration for his novels from his own experiences growing up in Missouri and working as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River. His wit and keen observations of society allowed him to critique the societal norms of his time, making his work both entertaining and thought-provoking. I recommend Twain's 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' to readers who appreciate timeless coming-of-age stories with social commentary. Twain's masterful storytelling and engaging characters continue to captivate audiences today, making these novels essential reads for anyone interested in American literature.

Book excerpt: MS BookS Publishing presents Mark Twain's series of books featuring the fictional characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Over the years these stories have been heavily edited, abridged, and simplified to reach a juvenile market with illustrations showing Tom and Huck as 8-10-year-old boys; Mark Twain clearly intended the main characters to behave and talk as boys, 12-13 years of age --the artwork features precocious boys, about to become young adults; in Schoolhouse Hill, Mark Twain gives us the age of the new school boy as 15 --so that's that. This publication intends to represent truthfully and in detail the original manuscripts of the author, so the text is unabridged and untouched by editors or librarians--ALERT: If you are easily offended by colorful 19th Century Slang, this publication is not for you.This MS BookS Publication includes: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876); Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884); Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894, a parody of Jules Verne's adventure stories); Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896, a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer); Schoolhouse Hill (1898, a version of The Mysterious Stranger, unfinished). Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer among the Indians, Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy, and Tom Sawyer's Gang Plans a Naval Battle --were stories Twain abandoned after a few chapters and not included in this collections. Some of the characters you will meet along the way: Tom Sawyer--Thomas Tom Sawyer, based on the young Samuel Clemens, is a cunning and playful boy of about 12 years of age; Aunt Polly--Tom's aunt, the sister of his dead mother; a bit controlling and abusive, but is in fact a caring woman; Mary--Aunt Polly's gentle and good-natured daughter; Sid Sawyer--Tom's whiny half-brother; Huckleberry Finn--Huckleberry Huck Finn is Tom's best friend and the narrator of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer Abroad, and Tom Sawyer, Detective; Joe Harper--Joseph Joe Harper is Tom's friend; he joins Tom and Huck as a pirate when they run away from home; Injun Joe--the main antagonist of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and is feared by the town; Jim--Jim flees slavery with Huck, who was escaping his drunken father; the King and the Duke--Two con men; Muff Potter--Muffren Muff Potter is a drunk but friendly fisherman; Dr. Robinson--The doctor who wanted the grave dug up; Ben Rogers--Benjamin Ben Rogers who whitewash the fence for Tom; Becky Thatcher--Judge Thatcher's daughter, known for being Tom Sawyer's love interest; Amy Lawrence--Becky Thatcher's rival and Tom's first love; Judge Thatcher--he shares responsibility for Huckleberry Finn with Widow Douglas, and it is to Judge Thatcher that Huckleberry Finn signs over his fortune; Mr. Dobbins--The hated schoolmaster at Tom's school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! “If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing, you’ll love This Tender Land...This story is as big-hearted as they come.” —Parade The unforgettable story of four orphans who travel the Mississippi River on a life-changing odyssey during the Great Depression. In the summer of 1932, on the banks of Minnesota’s Gilead River, Odie O’Banion is an orphan confined to the Lincoln Indian Training School, a pitiless place where his lively nature earns him the superintendent’s wrath. Forced to flee after committing a terrible crime, he and his brother, Albert, their best friend, Mose, and a brokenhearted little girl named Emmy steal away in a canoe, heading for the mighty Mississippi and a place to call their own. Over the course of one summer, these four orphans journey into the unknown and cross paths with others who are adrift, from struggling farmers and traveling faith healers to displaced families and lost souls of all kinds. With the feel of a modern classic, This Tender Land is an enthralling, big-hearted epic that shows how the magnificent American landscape connects us all, haunts our dreams, and makes us whole.

Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885),[3] the latter often called "The Great American Novel".Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which later provided the setting for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. After an apprenticeship with a printer, Twain worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise.[4] In 1865, his humorous story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" was published, based on a story he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, where he had spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into classic Greek...
