For deft plotting, riotous inventiveness, unforgettable
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk characters, and language that brilliantly captures the lively
rhythms of American speech, no American writer comes close to Mark
Twain. This sparkling anthology covers the entire span of Twain''s
inimitable yarn-spinning, from his early broad comedy to the biting
satire of his later years. Every one of his sixty stories is here:
ranging from the frontier humor of "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of
Calaveras County," to the bitter vision of humankind in "The Man
That Corrupted Hadleyburg," to the delightful hilarity of "Is He
Living or Is He Dead?" Surging with Twain''s ebullient wit and
penetrating insight into the follies of human nature, this volume
is a vibrant summation of the career of-in the words of H. L.
Mencken-"the father of our national literature."

| 關於作者: |
Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835. He
gained national attention as a humorist in 1865 with the
publication of "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,"
but was acknowledged as a great writer by the literary
establishment with The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
1885. In 1880, Twain began promoting and financing the ill-fated
Paige typesetter, an invention designed to make the printing
process fully automatic. At the height of his naively optimistic
involvement in the technological "wonder" that nearly drove him to
bankruptcy, he published his satire, A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur''s Court 1889. Plagued by personal tragedy and
financial failure, Mark Twain spent the last years of his life in
gloom and exasperation, writing fables about "the damned human
race."
