Table of Contents

FROM THE PAGES OFADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN

That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they dont know nothing about it. (page 6)

Pap warnt in a good humorso he was his natural self. (page 26)

When I woke up I didnt know where I was, for a minute. I set up and looked around, a little scared. Then I remembered. The river looked miles and miles across. The moon was so bright I could a counted the drift logs that went a slipping along, black and still, hundreds of yards out from shore. Everything was dead quiet, and it looked late, and smelt late. You know what I meanI dont know the words to put it in.

(page 34)

When it was dark I set by my camp fire smoking, and feeling pretty satisfied; but by-and-by it got sort of lonesome, and so I went and set on the bank and listened to the currents washing along, and counted the stars and drift-logs and rafts that come down, and then went to bed; there aint no better way to put in time when you are lonesome; you cant stay so, you soon get over it. (page 38)

Whats the use you learning to do right, when its troublesome to do right and aint no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same?

(page 85)

We said there warnt no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft dont. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft. (page 107)

Its lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky, up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made, or only just happenedJim he allowed they was made, but I allowed they happened; I judged it would have took too long to make so many. (pages 109-110)

All kings is mostly rapscallions, as fur as I can make out. (page 140)

Haint we got all the fools in town on our side? and aint that a big enough majority in any town? (page 162)

I reckon a body that ups and tells the truth when he is in a tight place, is taking considerable many resks. (page 170)

Its the little things that smoothes peoples roads the most. (page 173)

You cant pray a lieI found that out. (page 194)

It dont make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a persons conscience aint got no sense, and just goes for him anyway. (page 210)

MARK TWAIN Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30 1835 - photo 2

MARK TWAIN

Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835. When Sam was four years old, his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, a small town later immortalized in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. After the death of his father, twelve-year-old Sam quit school and supported his family by working as a delivery boy, a grocers clerk, and an assistant blacksmith until he was thirteen, when he became an apprentice printer. He worked for several newspapers, traveled throughout the country, and established himself as a gifted writer of humorous sketches. Abandoning journalism at points to work as a riverboat pilot, Clemens adven tured up and down the Mississippi, learning the 1,200 miles of the river.

During the 1860s he spent time in the West, in newspaper work and panning for gold, and traveled to Europe and the Holy Land; The Innocents Abroad (1869) and Roughing It (1872), published some years later, are accounts of those experiences. In 1863 Samuel Clemens adopted a pen name, signing a sketch as Mark Twain, and in 1867 Mark Twain won fame with publication of a collection of humorous writings, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches. After marrying and settling in Connecticut, Twain wrote his best-loved works: the novels about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and the nonfiction work Life on the Mississippi. Meanwhile, he continued to travel and had a successful career as a public lecturer.

In his later years, Twain saw the world with increasing pessimism following the death of his wife and two of their three daughters. The tone of his later novels, including The Tragedy of Puddnhead Wilson and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court, became cynical and dark. Having failed as a publisher and suffering losses from ill-advised investments, Twain was forced by financial necessity to maintain a heavy schedule of lecturing. Though he had left school at an early age, his genius was recognized by Yale University, the University of Missouri, and Oxford University in the form of honorary doctorate degrees. He died in his Connecticut mansion, Stormfield, on April 21, 1910.
