Sobre este artículo
Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1903. Hardcover. Very Good. Volume number 9 of the author's national edition, very good maroon cloth hardcover with gilt letter to spine shows mild shelf wear and soil including touch of rubbing at edges and bumping to corners, tiny tears at spine ends, hint of exposure toning along spine, dulling to gilt at spine tail, browning at front endpapers and some other mild trace wear. 481 pages with 3 black & white illustrations including frontispiece illustration. Still an attractive copy of this work that makes up an installment in the works of Mark Twain.
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.
