Book excerpt: Join Huck and Jim as they journey down the Mississippi in this beloved companion to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer "and a standalone classic in its own right, with a fresh new cover and interior illustrations. "You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"; but that ain't no matter," declares Huck at the start of one of the greatest books in American literature. Filled with all the humor, suspense, and sheer excitement of its predecessor, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"--a nostalgic portrayal of a world Mark Twain knew intimately--tells the moving story of a boy who must make his own way in an often cruel society that counts it a sin to help a runaway slave. This edition includes a modern cover and new illustrations from Iacopo Bruno. This new look coincides with a new edition of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer "and the publication of "The Absolutely Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher."

Book Synopsis The Mysterious Stranger by : Mark Twain
Download or read book The Mysterious Stranger written by Mark Twain and published by . This book was released on 1916-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mysterious Stranger is a tale that is itself both mysterious and strange. Written by Mark Twain, better known for such humorous tales as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, the story concerns the visit of Satan to a medieval Austrian village.

Book Synopsis Centenary Reflections on Mark Twain's No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger by : Joseph Csicsila
Download or read book Centenary Reflections on Mark Twain's No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger written by Joseph Csicsila and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first book on No. 44 in thirty years, thirteen especially commissioned essays by some of today's most accomplished Twain scholars cover an array of topics, from domesticity and transnationalism to race and religion, and reflect a variety of scholarly and theoretical approaches to the work. This far-reaching collection considers the status of No. 44 within Twain's oeuvre as they offer cogent insights into such broad topics as cross-culturalism, pain and redemption, philosophical paradox, and comparative studies of the "Mysterious Stranger" manuscripts. All of these essays attest to the importance of this late work in Twain's canon, whether considering how Twain's efforts at truth-telling are premeditated and shaped by his own experiences, tracing the biblical and religious influences that resonate in No. 44, or exploring the text's psychological dimensions. Several address its importance as a culminating work in which Twain's seemingly disjointed story lines coalesce in meaningful, albeit not always satisfactory, ways. An afterword by Alan Gribben traces the critical history of the "Mysterious Stranger" manuscripts and the contributions of previous critics. A wide-ranging critical introduction and a comprehensive bibliography on the last century of scholarship bracket the contributions. Close inspection of this multidimensional novel shows how Twain evolved as a self-conscious thinker and humorist--and that he was a more conscious artist throughout his career than has been previously thought. Centenary Reflections deepens our understanding of one of Twain's most misunderstood texts, confirming that the author of No. 44 was a pursuer of an elusive truth that was often as mysterious a stranger as Twain himself.

Book Synopsis Pudd'nhead Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins by : Mark Twain
Download or read book Pudd'nhead Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins written by Mark Twain and published by . This book was released on 1922 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of a sober kind, picturing life in a little town of Missouri, half a century ago. The principal incidents relate to a slave of mixed blood and her almost pure white son, whom she substitutes for her master's baby. The slave by birth grows up in wealth and luxury, but turns out a peculiarly mean scoundrel, and perpetrating a crime, meets with due justice. The science of fingerprints is practically illustrated in detecting the fraud. The title character is the village atheist, whose maxims doubtless express much of the author's own disillusion.
