The most comprehensive collection of stories, sketches, burlesques, hoaxes, tall tales, speeches, satires, and maxims of America's greatest humorist, Mark Twain Arranged chronologically and containing many pieces restored to the form in which Twain intended them to appear, this special Library of America volume shows with unprecedented clarity the literary evolution of Mark Twain over six decades of his career.The nearly two hundred separate items in this volume cover Twain's writings from the years 1852 to 1890. As a riverboat pilot, Confederate irregular, silver miner, frontier journalist, and publisher, Twain witnessed the tragicomic beginning of the Civil War in Missouri, the frenzied opening of the West, and the feverish corruption, avarice, and ambition of the Reconstruction era. He wrote about political bosses, jumping frogs, robber barons, cats, women's suffrage, temperance, petrified men, the bicycle, the Franco-Prussian War, the telephone, the income tax, the insanity defense, injudicious swearing, and the advisability of political candidates preemptively telling the worst about themselves before others get around to it.Among the stories included here are "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog," which won him instant fame when published in 1865, "Cannibalism in the Cars," "The Invalid's Story," and the charming "A Cat's Tale," written for his daughters' private amusement. This volume also presents several of his famous and successful speeches and toasts, such as "Woman - God Bless Her," "The Babies," and "Advice to Youth." Such writings brought Twain immense success on the public lecture and banquet circuit, as did his controversial "Whittier Birthday Speech," which portrayed Boston's most revered men of letters as a band of desperadoes.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" is a satirical novel written by the famend American writer Mark Twain. The story follows the adventures of Hank Morgan, a practical and forward-questioning engineer from Connecticut who, after a head harm, inexplicably reveals himself transported again in time to the mythical generation of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Armed along with his know-how of nineteenth-century era and technology, Hank will become a "Connecticut Yankee" in King Arthur's court docket. He makes use of his cutting-edge knowledge to introduce progressive adjustments to the medieval global, along with creating telegraphs, steam strength, and superior weaponry. While first of all attempting to improve society, Hank soon realizes that his tries to modernize Camelot lead to accidental outcomes and project the traditional order. The novel is a biting satire on the romanticized notions of chivalry, feudalism, and the Middle Ages. Twain makes use of Hank Morgan's reports to criticize the superstitions and injustices of his own time by means of contrasting them with the perceived backwardness of Arthurian England. As Hank navigates the complexities of medieval existence and tries to reshape the route of records, readers are handled to a mix of humor, social remark, and journey.

Huckleberry Finn and Jim's river journey explores freedom, morality, and societal challenges in 19th-century America.

In fall 1891, Mark Twain headed for Berlin, the "newest city I have ever seen," as America's foremost humorist wrote; accompanied by his wife, Olivia, and their three daughters. Twain, a "Yankee from head to toe," according to the Berlin press, conspired with diplomats, frequented the famed salons, had breakfast with duchesses, and dined with the emperor. He also suffered an "organized dog-choir club," at his first address, which he deemed a "rag-picker's paradise," picked a fight with the police, who made him look under his maid's petticoats, was abused by a porter, got lost on streetcars, was nearly struck down by pneumonia, and witnessed a proletarian uprising right in front of his hotel on Unter den Linden. Twain penned articles about his everyday life and also began a novel about lonely Prussian princess Wilhelmina von Preussen-unpublished until now, like many of his Berlin stories. These are assembled for the first time in this book, along with a riveting account of Twain's foray in the German capital, by Andreas Austilat. Berlin is a luminous centre of intelligence-a place where the last possibilities of attaintment in all the sciences are to be had for the seeking. Berlin is a wonderful city for that sort of opportunities. They teach everything here. I don't believe there is anything in the whole earth that you can't learn in Berlin except the German language."- Mark Twain Berlinica Publishing LLC offers English-language books from Berlin, German; fiction, non-fiction, travel guides, history about the Wall and the Third Reich, Jewish life, art, architecture and photography, as well as travel guides and cookbook.
