About this Item

"The American Claimant" by Mark Twain CHatto & Windus, London - 1892 first UK edition - 259p + ads dated May 1892 - condition: goo, some wear and rubbing to boards and spine, name on ffep, complete. The American Claimant is an 1892 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. Twain wrote the novel with the help of phonographic dictation,[2] the first author (according to Twain himself) to do so.[3] This was also (according to Twain) an attempt to write a book without mention of the weather, the first of its kind in fictitious literature (although the first sentence of the second paragraph references weather: "fine, breezy morning"). Indeed, all the weather is contained in an appendix, at the back of the book, which the reader is encouraged to turn to from time to time. Seller Inventory # ABE-1595529182219
