Clemens) was born in Missouri in 1835. He won his first fame from newspaper sketches written in Nevada & California in the 1860s. His wild humor, his intelligence, his ready wit, his gift for deflating pretensions, his talent for spinning tall tales, & his outright genius for finding the right word soon endeared him to a wide public. "Adventures of Huckleberry Fiinn", set in the Mississippi River valley of the author's childhood, was published in 1885 & became a worldwide classic. By the time of Mark Twain's death in 1910, he had become as much of a world-renowned figure as his fictional creations. Americans have continued to have a special affection for him. As Thomas A. Edison said, "An American loves his family. If he has any love left over for some other person, he generally selects Mark Twain." * HIGHEST PRAISE: "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called "Huckleberry Finn". There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since." -Ernest Hemingway. "We come to see Huck . . . as one of the permanent symbolic figures of fiction; not unworthy to take a place w/ Ulysses, Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Hamlet, & other great discoveries that man has made about himself." -T.S. Eliot. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.
