The Man Who Was Mark Twain

von Guy Cardwell

296 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Elegantly written and carefully reasoned, this book brings us the, fascinatingly flawed character behind the image of a cultural hero. Mark Twain has long been idealized as the representative American, the personification of America's mythic past. Here he is shown by a distinguished Twain scholar and editor to be a man with debilitating tensions and neuroses-a figure with whom modern Americans may identify more closely if less comfortably.
