Mark Twain's Autobiography
Two Volumes in One
(Author) Mark Twain"Start (an autobiography) at no particular time of your life; wander at your free will all over your life; talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment; drop it the moment its interest threatens to pale, and turn your talk upon the new and more interesting thing that has intruded itself into your mind meantime." -Mark Twain Mark Twain's Autobiography published posthumously in 1924, was the result of Mark Twain's writings between 1870 and 1909. Even though his intent was to have his autobiography published posthumously, he did publish twenty-five pieces of autobiographical work as Chapters from My Autobiography in the North American Review in 1906-7. Twain's friend, literary executor and biographer, Albert Bigelow Paine (1861-1937) was the first to collect Twain's papers and edited this edition of Mark Twain's Autobiography. Although other autobiographical works of Mark Twain have been published since, this jacketed hardcover replica is a must-have for Twain aficionados and book collectors.
