Read by 5 CDs/6 hours A companion audiobook to the 4-hour PBS television series. From the authors of Jazz, Baseball, and The Civil War: a biography of one of the central figures of our literature—the American titan who gave us Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, and Life on the Mississippi. Using material from Twains works, diaries, and letters, Mark Twain follows the great writer/humorist/lecturer/peoples philosopher from the Hannibal, Missouri of his childhood, to the Europe and Middle East of his travels (and hilarious travel books); from his beginnings as a newspaperman to his storied life as (in his own words) "the most conspicuous man on the planet." The essential companion audiobook to the upcoming public television series, Mark Twain also stands on its own as an enthralling biography.
