The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Unabridged)

A pillar of American literature, Mark Twain's prototypical coming-of-age introduces the iconic Tom Sawyer and his best friend Huckleberry Finn. Tom's panache for mischief and unyielding desire for adventure commonly leads him into trouble, but quick wits and a smooth tongue always navigates him to safety. When Tom and Huck witness a murder and the culpable Injun Joe escapes justice, Tom, who testified against the bandit, is left to wonder how he will get out of yet another bind.

Mit Mark Twain nach Paris (Ungekürzt)

Mark Twains erster großer Publikumserfolg war kein Roman, sondern sein Reisebericht über «Die Arglosen im Ausland». 1867 bereiste er mit einer Gruppe amerikanischer «Pauschaltouristen» Europa. Twain ist über die kulturelle Zurückgebliebenheit des alten Kontinents entsetzt. Voll Bosheit, Ironie und Spöttelei berichtet er aus Paris über fehlende Seife, lebensbedrohliche Rasuren und skandalöse Tanzdarbietungen. Ihr privater Stadtführer, Monsieur Billfinger, hat stets großen Hunger und scheint in...

Mark Twain

The Prince and the Pauper

"What am I writing? A historical tale of 300 years ago, simply for the love of it." Mark Twain’s «tale» became his first historical novel, The Prince and the Pauper, published in 1881. Intricately plotted, it was intended to have the feel of history even though it was only the stuff of legend. In sixteenth-century England, young Prince Edward (son of Henry VIII) and Tom Canty, a pauper boy who looks exactly like him, are suddenly forced to change places. The prince...

Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1

"I've struck it!" Mark Twain wrote in a 1904 letter to a friend. «And I will give it away—to you. You will never know how much enjoyment you have lost until you get to dictating your autobiography.» Thus, after dozens of false starts and hundreds of pages, Twain embarked on his «Final (and Right) Plan» for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion—to «talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment»—meant that his thoughts could range freely. The strict...

The Innocents Abroad (with an Introduction by Edward P. Hingston)

Fully entitled “The Innocents Abroad, or the New Pilgrims’ Progress,” Twain’s colorful travelogue is a compilation of the newspaper articles he wrote while on a cruise to Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land with other American tourists in 1867. His account frequently uses humor to describe the people and places he visits, although this becomes highly satiric at times as Twain becomes frustrated with European profiteering, a pointless historical anecdote in Gibraltar, and the overly...
