Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain
Great book on early river life on the Mississippiif you like this book you will also want to read the following books on early life on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers: Journal of a Voyage up the Missouri River, in 4. Life in the Rocky Mountains:: I felt very lucky to get this book free from Amazon and I have enjoyed every bit of it. I read some of the novels that I grew up with and got a treat to read some that I had never heard of and they are all wonderful. If you are easily offended by old southern racial references then maybe some of his work is not for you but I felt that he did not look down on African Americans because he put the runaway slave Jim on equal footing with Tom and Huck and he wrote from his time in history and it was the norm, the way people of different races interacted at that time.
Mark Twain's novels are full of humor and irony, and some very deep insight into the workings of the human spirit and mind.
I highly recommend his work to anyone who wishes to enjoy novels from such a changing time and who can appreciate the differences in people but when it all came down to it everybody was the same in the end, according to Mark Twain. I've long been an admirer of Mark Twain. Few writers reveal as much of themselves in their work as does Samuel Clemens Twain.
Life On The Mississippi - 1st Edition/1st State
For me, he embodies the American spirit and character in a way that few others do; and "Life on the Mississippi" is Twain at the top of his game. He's a genius at dialogue, recognizes and enjoys the pretensions of people; and will not tolerate hypocrisy.
His story-telling technique is wonderful, and he can be very funny. Having said that, Twain's writing can also be uneven, and sometimes a passage of utter beauty can be followed by drivel. I've read that when "Life on the Mississippi" was submitted for publication, Twain's editors thought it was too short, so sent the writer on a trip down the River to reflect on the changes since he had lived there.
Twain is Twain, so reading that part of the book is not unpleasant, but it is really just a travel piece that does not begin to rise to the levels of his earlier reflections. Sign In Register Help Cart 0.
