The Inventions of Mark Twain

John Lauber

4.9/5 (16173 ratings)

Description:Young Sam Clemens reinvented himself to become Mark Twain--writer, family man, lecturer, speculator, publisher, world traveler & perhaps the most widely recognized public figure of his time. For Twain, to write was to live fully with all his energies; & yet to participate in the outside world was equally vital. His business enterprises reflected a restless search for excitement. Typical of his speculations were his disastrous financial & emotional involvement in the Paige automatic typesetter & his publication of the enormously successful Memoirs of General Grant. But the anchor of his life remained his uniquely personal mansion in Hartford. Home & family were at the core of his being, & Lauber illuminates Twain's family life, his very close relationships with his wife & daughters.AcknowledgmentsPrefaceApprentice Author Return to the riverThe dimensions of success Huckleberry Finn Colonel Sellers Mugwump Twins of geniusThe best book ever writtenPublisher to a hero Standing outside the door of plenty Immortal hopefulness Shall we ever laugh again?SourcesNotesIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
