➤ Mark Twain (1835-1910) was christened Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but that name would forever remain in the shadow of his pseudonym. The son of a strict lawyer, it was his mother who awakened his sense of humor. Twain began working as an apprentice printer in 1848, and a few years later he was already contributing articles and humorous stories to a brother's newspaper. Later, while traveling down the Mississippi aboard a steamboat, he would have been fascinated by the pilot's work, and devoted two years of his life to learning the trade. One of the many trips of his life took him, some time later, to a silver mine in Nevada, where he tried to be a miner, without much success. On the other hand, he found work on the local newspaper. It was here, from the pen of Samuel Clemens, then 27 years old, that Mark Twain was born.

➤ Roughing It is a travelogue by Mark Twain from 1872. The semi-autobiographical book details Mark Twain's travels in the American West between 1861 and 1867.

Just got back from a visit to Lake Tahoe, Virginia City and Carson City. Really brings this book to life. I was sad to see that the Mark Twain museum had closed down in Virginia City.

[turtlespiritflutes]

A service to humanity! A romp through an era gone by, through the eyes of a literary genius with a deep, innate understanding of the human condition.

This is the greatest listen to book ever and I have over and over again falling asleep. Next time I listen I hear new parts again and again.. Very funny. I only like part 1.

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

This is a very good narration of an absolute classic . There are not many things I appreciate more.

[mikemarley]

That chair Sam is relaxing on sure looks comfortable .And I had a job trimming sagebush in the Sonoran Desert once.

Wow! My favorite -- and with a worthy narrator! 😃 Thank you.

A favorite book by a favorite author read by a perfectly suited voice?

I must be dreaming, but I'm going to subscribe anyway and hope this treasure still exists in the morning 💗

Thank you so much for uploading and sharing.
Excellent book, with great narrator.
Great book about life trial, tribulations, victory, and wisdoms.

[mikemarley]

I could scare my little brother to tears at night just by saying"raw head and bloody bones"it got to where I could only get out "Raw head "and he would start bawling like a little girl.It was grand fun.

[MarkSchmidt-ws]

I like how he calls his Mormom wives creatures
