Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally the story was called "Those Extraordinary Twins." I meant to make it very short. I had seen a picture of a youthful Italian "freak" -- or "freaks" -- which was -- or which were -- on exhibition in our cities -- a combination consisting of two heads and four arms joined to a single body and a single pair of legs -- and I thought I would write an extravagantly fantastic little story with this freak of nature for hero -- or heroes -- a silly young Miss for heroine, and two old ladies and two boys for the minor parts. I lavishly elaborated these people and their doings, of course. But the tale kept spreading along and spreading along, and other people got to intruding themselves and taking up more and more room with their talk and their affairs. Among them came a stranger named Pudd'nhead Wilson, and a woman named Roxana; and presently the doings of these two pushed up into prominence a young fellow named Tom Driscoll, whose proper place was away in the obscure background. Before the book was half finished those three were taking things almost entirely into their own hands and working the whole tale as a private venture of their own -- a tale which they had nothing at all to do with, by rights. -- Mark Twain

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is no character, howsoever good and fine, but it can be destroyed by ridicule, howsoever poor and witless." -Mark Twain, The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson: And the Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins (1894), one of Mark Twain's most entertaining, funny, but also bitter works, takes place during the antebellum in the fictional town of Dawson's Landing on the Mississippi River. It tells the tale of switching identities-one a baby boy born into slavery and the other a baby boy born to be the master of the house. Twain offers his quintessential ironic vision of slavery and race in America, topics that one hundred twenty years after its publication are still haunting the US. Included is the short story of The Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins, which introduces the twins Luigi and Angelo Capello, who also show up in The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson. This jacketed hardcover replica of the original edition contains unique marginal illustrations-cartoon-sized illustrations in the margins of the text-by the illustrators F. M. Senior and C. H. Warren.

Download or read book The Twin written by Gerbrand Bakker and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-11-26 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When his twin brother dies in a car accident, Helmer is obliged to return to the small family farm. He resigns himself to taking over his brother's role and spending the rest of his days 'with his head under a cow'. After his old, worn-out father has been transferred upstairs, Helmer sets about furnishing the rest of the house according to his own minimal preferences. 'A double bed and a duvet', advises Ada, who lives next door, with a sly look. Then Riet appears, the woman once engaged to marry his twin. Could Riet and her son live with him for a while, on the farm?'The Twin' is an ode to the platteland, the flat and bleak Dutch countryside with its ditches and its cows and its endless grey skies. Ostensibly a novel about the countryside, as seen through the eyes of a farmer, 'the Twin' is, in the end, about the possibility or impossibility of taking life into one's own hands. It chronicles a way of life which has resisted modernity, is culturally apart, and yet riven with a kind of romantic longing. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Download or read book Pudd'nhead Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins written by Mark Twain and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two narratives published together in The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson and the Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins are overflowing with spectacular events. Twain shows us conjoined twins, babies exchanged in the cradle, acts of cross-dressing and racial masquerade, duels, a lynching, and a murder mystery. Pudd’head Wilson tells the story of babies, one of mixed race and the other white, exchanged in their cradles, while Those Extraordinary Twins is a farcical tale of conjoined twins. Although the stories were long viewed as flawed narratives, their very incongruities offer a fascinating portrait of key issues—race, disability, and immigration—facing the United States in the final decades of the nineteenth century. Hsuan Hsu’s introduction traces the history of literary critics’ response to these works, from the confusion of Twain’s contemporaries to the keen interest of current scholars. Extensive historical appendices provide contemporary materials on race discourse, legal contexts, and the composition and initial reception of the texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The protagonists use their quick wit and brains to save the day . . . Irresistible and hilarious.” —School Library Journal With its kid-perfect humor and dynamic illustrations, the first book in the Templeton Twins series left young readers clamoring for more. This time, Abigail and John Templeton find themselves at TAPAS (the Thespian Academy of the Performing Arts and Sciences) where their father, the illustrious Professor Templeton, has been hired to invent a groundbreaking theatrical device. Once again, there is drama (of course!), silliness, and suspense, as the twins (and their ridiculous dog) must thwart the dastardly Dean brothers in order to save the invention as well as their father (and the dog). Oh yes, there is sure to be another recipe. This time for guacamole. Or is it coleslaw? “The intrusive, self-absorbed narrator hogs the limelight and keeps the vocabulary words and brainy laughs coming.” —San Francisco Chronicle
