Mark Twain's Autobiography V2 is the second volume of the autobiography of the famous American author, Mark Twain. This book is a collection of Twain's personal writings, letters, and notes, which he compiled over several decades. The book provides a unique insight into Twain's life, his thoughts, and his experiences. The second volume of the autobiography begins with Twain's return to the United States after his travels abroad, and covers his life from 1906 to his death in 1910. During this time, Twain continued to write and publish, but also faced personal and financial difficulties. He also became increasingly involved in political and social issues, and his writing reflects his growing concern for these topics.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different period in Twain's life. Each section includes a preface written by Twain himself, as well as letters, diary entries, and other personal writings. The book also includes photographs and illustrations that help bring Twain's world to life.Overall, Mark Twain's Autobiography V2 is a fascinating and insightful look into the life of one of America's most beloved authors. It provides a unique perspective on Twain's personal and professional life, and is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature and history.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.
