Letters of Mark Twain, Complete, The by Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) LibriVox These letters were arranged in two volumes by Albert Bigelow Paine, Samuel L. Clemens's literary executor, as a supplement to Mark Twain, A Biography, which Paine wrote. They are, for the most part, every letter written by Clemens known to exist at the time of their publication in 1917. They begin with a fragment of a letter from teenaged Sam Clemens to his sister, Pamela, and conclude with a letter to his attorney two weeks before his death.These letters give us some degree of insight into the evolution of Twain's style of speech and prose over the period of his lifetime; they are a small window into the psyche that created the various characters of his stories.But they also reveal the tragedies of his life: the lack of success in his business ventures, the passing of family. And as I read each one in this collection, I can almost detect the faint odor of one of his “devilish” cigars wafting across the room. (Introduction by James K. White) 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 Mark Twain in the New York Times, Part One by Mark Twain Mc bill frank This collection of articles by and about Mark Twain and his family was compiled by Barbara Schmidt, publisher of twainquotes.com. Included in the chronological listing are some of Twain’s short stories, speeches and letters, as they appeared in the New York Times from the first (May 1, 1867) up through 1924 (the most recent Public Domain year available). "Part One" of the collection includes articles that appeared from 1867 through 1879.
