Life on the Mississippi (English Edition)

This vintage book contains Mark Twain’s 1883 memoir, "Life on the Mississippi". As well as being a memoir of his time spent as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi river, this book is also a travel book that recounts his journey along the river from St. Louis to New Orleans - many years after the War. A fascinating and characteristically humourous account, this volume is highly recommended for fans of Twain’s work, and it would make for a great addition to any personal collection. The chapters of this book include: “The River and Its History”, “The River and Its Explorers”, “Frescoes from the Past”, “The Boy’s Ambition”, “I Want to be a Cub-Pilot”, “A Cub-Pilot’s Experience”, “A Daring Deed”, “Perplexing Lessons”, “Continued Perplexities”, “Completing my Education”, etcetera. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pseudonym, Mark Twain, was a seminal American writer and humourist. This antiquarian book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
