Product Information

"I've struck it " Mark Twain wrote in a 1904 letter to a friend. "And I will give it away--to you. You will never know how much enjoyment you have lost until you get to dictating your autobiography." Thus, after dozens of false starts and hundreds of pages, Twain embarked on his "Final (and Right) Plan" for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion--to "talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment"--meant that his thoughts could range freely. The strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for 100 years meant that when they came out, he would be "dead, and unaware, and indifferent," and that he was therefore free to speak his "whole frank mind." The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Twain's death. In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press is proud to offer for the first time Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography in its entirety and exactly as he left it. This major literary event brings to readers, admirers, and scholars the first of three volumes and presents Mark Twain's authentic and unsuppressed voice, brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions, and speaking clearly from the grave as he intended. Editors: Harriet E. Smith, Benjamin Griffin, Victor Fischer, Michael B. Frank, Sharon K. Goetz, Leslie Myrick

"Promises a no-holds barred perspective on Twain's life, and will be rich with rambunctious, uncompromising opinions."--Herald Scotland, "Twain's writing here is electric, alternately moving and hilarious.

  • Twain's Anecdotes as told to his secretary

    Twain's recollection of events and description of their circumstances is brilliant. His observations of human character and behavior coupled with descriptive environment are masterful. It is enchanting reading but sometimes ponderous because he writes in the style of the times. One cannot help but be impressed with the incredible detail in his recollections used to set the scenes in his many stories. By today's standards he guilds the lilly. If you want insights to the brilliance of his recollections and mind, this book will deliver them. It is a worthy book for Twain fans but, be prepared to take awhile to appreciate his unfolding of the truth. Many of his stories were the result of something sticking in his craw. You can see he worked these over in his mind and carried them with ...

  • Very discriptive.

    It was in the typical writing style of Mark Twain. Very interesting and well worth the wait. I felt that it was a great book of the story of one of America's greatest story writers. I loved his honesty and finished it in only a few days. It does not have a mysterious element to it but it is informative about his life in his times. I knew I would buy this because it was delayed for 100 years after his death which made it irresistible for me not to get for my husband as a gift and of course I read it as well. It is not for a younger generation in my opinion but will not disappoint us 40 somethings and older. I would recommend it. Kate

  • Mark Twains Autobiography

    This book is a compilation of notes left by Mark Twain when he died. It contains stories about his life and some others begun but not finished or published. They are typical of his style in the published ones and are treasured by all who enjoyed his humor and his descriptions. This book is very thick. I wonder why it was not published in two or even three volumes. The size of it makes it difficult to handle for recreational reading, but the time and trouble involved are worth investing because of the unique content.

  • Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. I

    Having borrowed this book from the library, and knowing I couldn't finish it before it was due back, I began reading somewhere in the middle of the book. I thought I'd read quickly and sporadically just to get a "gist of Twain." After reading about 30 pages of Twain's pure, heavenly prose, in this particular passage about his wife and deceased daughter, I became completely caught up in his world and didn't want to put the book down. I did, however... to return the library copy and immediately purchase my own! This book is a delight to read in an unhurried manner so as to cherish every word of his masterful storytelling.

  • Mark Twain autobiography

    This large volume of the last book by Mark Twain was published 100 years after his death at his request. It is, therefore, a special feature for those who love his work. And this issue was made available at an attractive price and sent out in a timely fashion.
