Mark Twain's Autobiography: With An Introduction by Albert Bigelow Paine - Volume II by Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) LibriVox While the Mark Twain Project has created and released a three-volume Mark Twain autobiography with extensive annotations, in the 21st century, this two-volume autobiography was published in 1924 and contains many works never before released. It came 14 years after Twain's death and so, "speaking from the grave", he felt he could be "as frank and free and unembarrassed as a love letter". The autobiographical chapters that he published years earlier in the North American Review, were selected more for their acceptability and potential popularity than for their completely true reflection of his inner thoughts. With the publication of Mark Twain's Autobiography in 1924, the world was introduced to a much more frank and less restrained Twain than had heretofore been seen or heard. This partial Autobiography, in two volumes, consisting of about two-fifths of his known material, was compiled by a personal friend and literary executor Albert Bigelow Paine, who at the time had exclusive access Excerpts from ''A Bibliography of the Work of Mark Twain, Samuel Langhorne Clemens'' by Merle Devore Johnson (1874 - 1935) LibriVox As printed, this book contains an extensive listing of Mark Twain's work. Rather than repeating that listing, this recording simply reflects the bibliographer's entertaining analysis of Twain's books, speeches, letters, anecdotes, and notes. - Summary by John Greenman Love Letters of Dorothy Osborne Dorothy Osborne A lively, interesting and important collection of 17th century love-letters written by an English lady, against the background of the Civil War and the Restoration [summary by hefyd]After refusing a long string of suitors put forth by her family, including her cousin Thomas Osborne, Henry Cromwell (son of Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell) and Sir Justinian Isham, in 1655 Dorothy Osborne married Sir William Temple, a man with whom she had carried on a lengthy clandestine courtship that was largely epistolary in nature. It is for her letters to Temple, which were witty, progressive and socially illuminating, that Osborne is remembered. Only Osborne's side of the correspondence survived and comprises a collection of seventy-seven letters held in the British Library. (Summary from Wikipedia)Note: This reading contains all the letters in the correspondence but leaves out the editorial comments. Library of the World's Best Mystery and Detective Stories, Volume 2 by Julian Hawthorne, editor Loyal Books In the six volumes of the Library of the World’s Best Mystery and Detective Stories, Julian Hawthorne presents us thrilling and mysterious short stories from all corners of the world.
