Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist and essayist. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature." His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel." Twain also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894), and co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.

Reviews

[Jeanine Malarsky · Rating 5 out of 5]

I downloaded this eBook collection so I would always have something at hand to read, long or short. Twain's humor cracks me up. I love his view of government and politicians. I read some Twain as a child and encountered him again in my 11th grade American Literature textbook, of which I still have my classroom copy, thank you.

I'd moved on from reading his work until my son, then in high school, explained that Twain wrote for adults, not children and if I didn't read his classics again in my middle years, I'd truly miss out. So I did, and he was right. Then my mother told me about his book "Puddin'Head Wilson". In all honesty, that is my hands-down favorite. OMG.

So now I have all of Twain at my fingertips on my Kindle, whenever I have a moment. In my home's lower level library rests every book by Steinbeck which my son and I read through together one summer. Both authors stand the test of time like Dickens, and so many others.

Read Twain. You will laugh out loud.

Have read in the past: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Tragedy of Puddin' Head Wilson, The Recollections of Joan of Arc

Update 2020: Just read The Gilded Cage - change the names and dates and you have government and people today. Perfection as character studies of real people. The more I read about Samuel Clemens, the more I see his personal life experiences in his stories, which I think is fun.

Update: in June 2020- Read The Prince and the Pauper - terrific story, clever plotting with twists and turns. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat. However, it is set in England at the time King Henry VIII dies, 1547 and assumes to be the story of King Edward VI, a child king who came to the throne at nine years of age and died in 1553.

Next Update: July 2020 - Read A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Okay, so I never thought I'd read this book because the title turns me off. The book takes a person from the 1880s living in New England and transports him back the the 6th century in King Arthur's court of Camelot. It is a major commentary on early Medieval government under divine rule of Monarchs, and The Catholic Church. It is good to be reminded what life was like when the average citizen had no rights. Every person, young or old who hasn't read this book should do so. Particularly in present times, we need to understand the miracle that our great country represents. It is so well written that I made numerous notes for future reference. It is "laugh out loud" funny while delivering timeless truths.

Really only read Huck Finn

Finished Tom Sawyer (1st novel) and it was sooo good. The young boys get into so much mischief but it all ends well.
