Sobre este artículo
B oston: James R. Osgood and Company. FULL leather edition Strong clean fresh illustrated text. with the points Twain Flames/Hotel correct. Beautiful gilt edges. Strong book with tight and firm internal structure. The BAD PART . Neat yet somewhat crude bookbinder slices cover leathers north to south full length to access and reinforce covers. . The once lovely 5 banned spine now totally flaked ( yet still strong.) The bold marble free end papers are also so sliced and intrusion into the first blank end papers completes the wreck. ALL have been repaired, so to speak ,and are not ok and are serious faults. Thus this volume cries out for the magical book binder.and all will be well again. . Very Good. Leather. 1st Edition. 1883.
Sinopsis
Life on the Mississippi is a memoir by Mark Twain detailing his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before and after the American Civil War. The book begins with a brief history of the river from its discovery by Hernando de Soto in 1542. It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot, as the 'cub' of an experienced pilot. He describes, with great affection, the science of navigating the ever-changing Mississippi River.
