Description
|
|
|
|
A companion volume to Ken Burns' documentary Mark Twain (cowritten by Geoffrey Ward and Dayton Duncan), this visual biography pulls together material from a variety of published and unpublished sources. It examines not merely Twain's justly famous novels, stories, travelogues, and lectures, but also his diaries and letters, illuminated with 275 color illustrations and photographs from throughout his life. The authors take us from Samuel Langhorne Clemens' boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, through his careers as a riverboat man, newspaperman, printer, and author, following his peripatetic travels from the home he built in Hartford, Connecticut, across America, Europe, and the Middle East.
