"The report of my death was an exaggeration. Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. The secret of getting ahead is getting started." (Mark Twain)

Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the latter often called "The Great American Novel." We know the work but what about the great man behind it? In this well-told audiobook, Twain speaks about particulars of his turbulent life and times. A must-have addition to all university and school systems.

Mark Twain

Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed book—and, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.
