Synopsis:

"I've struck it!" Mark Twain wrote in a letter to a friend. "And I will give it away&#x;to you.

Mark twain autobiography book 2010 chevrolet "[T]he celebrated man of letters -- thought to be dead for a hundred years but actually surviving due to a wizard's spell -- returns with a sequel to his best-selling autobiography, aided and abetted by humorist and cartoonist Michael Kupperman.

You will never know how much enjoyment you have lost until you get to dictating your autobiography." Thus, after dozens of false starts and hundreds of pages, Twain embarked on his "Final (and Right) Plan" for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion&#x;to "talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment"&#x;meant that his thoughts could range freely.

The strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for years meant that when they came out, he would be "dead, and unaware, and indifferent," and that he was therefore free to speak his "whole frank mind." The year marks the th anniversary of Twain's death. In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press is proud to offer for the first time Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography in its entirety and exactly as he left it.

From the Inside Flap:

"Mark Twain dictated much of this book&#x;now it is a book at last&#x;from a big rumpled bed. Reading it is a bit like climbing in there with him."&#x;Roy Blount, Jr.

"To say that the editors have done an extremely good job is a little like saying the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel does a good job of keeping the rain off the Pope's head.

It is true but it doesn't give even a whiff of the grandeur of the thing."&#x;Robert D. Richardson, author of Emerson: The Mind on Fire

"Mark Twain, always so blithely ahead of his time, has just outdone himself: he's brought us an Autobiography from beyond the grave: a hundred-year-old relic that yet manages to accomplish something new.

Mark twain autobiography book 2010 chevrolet silverado The year marked the th anniversary of Twain's death. In celebration of this important milestone this is Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography in its entirety and exactly as he left it. It is told over three volumes and presents Mark Twain's authentic and unsuppressed voice, brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions, and speaking clearly.

It anticipates the Cubism just taking form in Samuel Clemens's last years, by exploding the confines of orderliness, sequence, the dutiful march of this-then-that. In so doing, it gives us not simply Mark Twain's life&#x;that is the prosaic work of biographers&#x;but the ways in which he thought of his life: in all the fragmented recollection, distraction, creation, revision and dreaming that make up the true, divinely jumbled devices we all use to recapture experience and feeling.

If this prodigious and prodigal pastiche were a machine, it would be the Paige typesetter&#x;except that it works."&#x;Ron Powers, author of Mark Twain: A Life
