Mark Twain's Autobiography Volume 2 is a continuation of the famous American author's life story. In this book, Twain shares his experiences and reflections on his later years, including his travels, his family life, and his literary career. The book covers the period from 1906 to Twain's death in 1910, and includes his thoughts on politics, religion, and society. Twain's wit and humor are on full display in this volume, as he shares his opinions on a wide range of topics with his characteristic irreverence. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of one of America's most beloved authors.Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766161366. Volume 2 of 2. In this autobiography, Mark Twain is speaking from the grave, literally. He would not allow the book to be published until after his death, so that he could speak freely, as in a love letter. In the manner in which Twain is so well-known, his autobiography is really not an autobiography at all, but a series of entertaining stories and opinions, dinner table talks, such as he had always delivered in his own home and elsewhere, and with about the same latitude and elaboration. Twain's narrative is not in any sense a mere fairy tale, many of the chapters, especially the earlier ones, are vividly true in their presentation. The things he told of Mrs. Clemens and Susy are marvelously and beautifully true in spirit and aspect, and the story as a whole is amazingly faithful in the character picture it presents of the man himself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
