In his own incomparable voice, America's greatest humorist reveals the man behind the legend.
Mark Twain spent the final years of his life dictating his autobiography, speaking freely and without constraint about his triumphs, his tragedies, and everything in between. The result is a work unlike any other-rambling, brilliant, hilarious, and heartbreaking by turns.
From his boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, to his adventures out West, from his rise to literary fame to his devastating personal losses, Twain holds nothing back. He settles old scores, skewers political hypocrisy, celebrates cherished friends, and philosophizes on human nature with the same razor-sharp wit that made him a legend. Told in his own fashion-jumping freely through time, following the whims of memory and mood-this is Twain unfiltered and unvarnished.
Compiled by his close friend and literary executor Albert Bigelow Paine, The Autobiography of Mark Twain is an intimate portrait of a complex genius: the beloved satirist, the grieving father, the keen observer of the American soul. This is Samuel Clemens as only he could tell it-with all the humor, honesty, and humanity that made him immortal.
I've struck it! ... The Autobiography will be read and enjoyed for centuries as long as ever I am remembered. -Mark Twain
