MARK TWAIN-A Biography
The Personal and Literary Life of
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
By Albert Bigelow Paine
MORE fascinating than fic
tion, this true story of a
strange and unfixcd life is like no
other biography the worid has
known. It is as full of fun and
humor and rollicking anecdote as
the writings of Mark Twain
himself, and as diversified?for
this Great Author and Philoso
pher was ever the plaything of a
whimsical Fate that mingled
t r a g e d y and adventure and
laughter and failure and success
in swift-following sequence.
Mark Twain and Mr. Paine at Billiards
THE very preparation for the writing of the work was a romance.
Six years the author gave to the work, travelling half way
round the worid to follow in the footsteps of his subject, and four
years of the time the two?he whose biography was to be written
and he who was to write it?lived in close daily association.
WHAT intimate suggestion, what wise and frivolous comment,
what charm of living quality this has given to the work,
only he who reads may say. And there is much unpublishcd
writing of Mark Twain himself.
ABOVE all?this picture of a life is no eulogy; there is no false
hero-worship. The result is one of the great biographies of
all time. All the book shops in the worid have it.
-HARPER & RROTHFRS
Unlon are vlvldly lmpfc-slve. The
book, ln fact. calls for more than one
readlng, to be thcreafter taken up at
odd ri. menta wlth undiminished Inter?
