Mark Twain’s Autobiography. In Two Volumes.

1924 1ed Mark TWAIN Autobiography Anecdotes Missouri Huck Finn Tom Sawyer 2v

"Mark Twain's Autobiography. In Two Volumes", published in 1924 by Harper and Brothers, is a unique compilation of the famed American author's reflections, memories, and contemplations, rather than a conventional chronological narrative of his life. The majority of this work was dictated by Twain in his later years, enabling the text to maintain an intimate and conversational tone. Introduced by Albert Bigelow Paine, Twain's close friend and literary executor, the book encapsulates the freedom Twain felt in sharing his thoughts without restriction, knowing the work wouldn't be published until after his death. These volumes consist of around two-fifths of Twain's unpublished writings, weaving together multiple starts and stops of autobiography attempts, and creating a rich tapestry of the iconic author's life as seen through his own eyes.
