Reseña del editor:
Recounts the stories of two boys living on the Mississippi, a case of mistaken identity, and Twain's own experiences growing up along the river
Biografía del autor:
Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and died at Redding, Connecticut in 1910. In his person and in his pursuits he was a man of extraordinary contrasts. Although he left school at twelve when his father died, he was eventually awarded honorary degrees from Yale University, the University of Missouri, and Oxford University. His career encompassed such varied occupations as printer, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist, travel writer, and publisher. He made fortunes from his writing but toward the end of his life he had to resort to lecture tours to pay his debts. He was hot-tempered, profane, and sentimental and also pessimistic, cynical, and tortured by self-doubt. His nostalgia helped produce some of his best books. He lives in American letters as a great artist, the writer whom William Dean Howells called “the Lincoln of our literature.”

This LOA collection presents his best-known works, together for the first time in one volume. 'Tom Sawyer' "is simply a hymn", said its author, "put into prose form to give it a worldly air", a book where nostalgia is so strong that it dissolves the tensions & perplexities that assert themselves in the later works. Twain began 'Huckleberry Finn' the same year 'Tom Sawyer' was published, but he was unable to complete it for several more. It was during this period of uncertainty that Twain made a pilgrimage to the scenes of his childhood in Hannibal, Missouri, a trip that led eventually to 'Life on the Mississippi'. The river in Twain's descriptions is a bewitching mixture of beauty & power, seductive calms & treacherous shoals, pleasure & terror, an image of the societies it touches & transports. Each of these works is filled w/ comic & melodramatic adventure, w/ horseplay & poetic evocations of scenery, & w/ characters who have become central to American mythology (not only Tom Sawyer Huck Finn, but also Roxy, the mulatto slave in 'Puddn'head Wilson', one of the most telling portraits of a woman in American fiction. W/ each book there is evidence of a growing bafflement & despair, until w/ 'Puddn'head Wilson', high jinks & games, far from disguising the terrible cost of slavery, become instead its macabre evidence. Through each of 4 works, too, runs the Mississippi, the river that T. S. Eliot, echoing Twain, was to call the "strong brown god." For Twain, the river represented the complex & often contradictory possibilities in his own & his nation's life. The Mississippi marks the place where civilization, moving west w/ its comforts & proprieties, discovers & contends w/ the rough realities, violence, chicaneries, & promise of freedom on the frontier. It is the place, too, where the currents Mark Twain learned to navigate as a pilot (an experience recounted in 'Life on the Mississippi') move inexorably into the Deep South, so that the innocence of joyful play & boyhood along its shores eventually confronts the grim reality of slavery. ABOUT THE EDITOR: Guy Cardwell (1906?2005) was emeritus professor of English at Washington University in St. Louis, & was the author of numerous books & articles about Mark Twain. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.
