1924 1st ed Mark TWAIN Autobiography Anecdotes Missouri

1924 1st ed Mark TWAIN Autobiography Anecdotes Missouri Huck Finn Tom Sawyer 2v

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

― Mark Twain

Mark Twain and his works were immensely popular all on their own. Such notable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn stood out about other 19th-century literary characters, and not just in the United States.

Twain’s ‘Autobiography’ was a work that took years and years to complete. Twain himself dictated the work over long intervals with the stipulation that it would not be published until many years following his death. It includes personal anecdotes, humorous and serious life stories, memories of his family, and his days as a youth in rural Missouri. A fine and rare first edition of Twain’s life from his own perspective.
