Shortly after his inglorious "military career" in a Confederate militia, as related in "A Private History of a Campaign That Failed," Mark Twain "lit out for the Territories" when his brother was appointed secretary to the governor of Nevada. The result was one of the greatest books in the literature of the American West, full of first-hand accounts of cowboys, miners, roughnecks, and assorted colorful characters as only Mark Twain could describe them.
This fictionalized "biography" told by an intimate companion of Joan of Arc was thought by Mark Twain to be his finest work. It was hugely popular in its time, and while the tastes of subsequent generations may have elevated HUCKLEBERRY FINN and THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER to a higher level, JOAN OF ARC still remains one of Twain's most colorful and passionately-imagined books.
One of the finest of Twain's travel books, detailing (often hilariously) his adventures in Europe, as a Yankee confronting the Old World. France, Germany, and Switzerland will never quite seem the same again. A fascinating glimpse of far times and places, seen through the eye of America's best writer.
Brings together virtually every known communication exchanged between the writer and the twelve girls he called his ""angelfish"", a group of schoolgirls who became his surrogate grandchildren. It also includes a number of Clemens's notebook entries, autobiographical dictations, short manuscripts, and other relevant materials that further illuminate this fascinating story.
