The letters of Mark Twain are peculiarly of the revealing sort. He was a man of few restraints and of no affectations. In his correspondence, as in his talk, he spoke what was in his mind, untrammeled by literary conventions.

Though Mark Twain is best remembered as perhaps the quintessential American humor writer, he was also a keen observer and critic of cultural and social trends. In this vein, he undertook a book-length discussion and analysis of Christian Science and New Thought, both of which enjoyed immense popularity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the United States. The controversial text was originally rejected by Twain's publisher, a gesture that the author

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835

La première scène se passe à la campagne dans la province de Virginie, en l'année 1880. Un élégant jeune homme de vingt-six ans, de fortune médiocre, vient d'épouser une jeune fille très riche. Mariage d'amour à première vue, précipitamment conclu, mais auquel le père de la jeune personne, un veuf, s'est opposé de toutes ses forces. Le marié appartient à une famille ancienne mais peu estimée, qui avait été contrainte à émigrer de Sedgemoor, pour le plus grand bien du roi Jacques. C'était, du moins, l'opinion générale; les uns le disaient avec une pointe de malice, les autres en étaient intimement persuadés. La jeune femme a dix-neuf ans et est remarquablement belle. Grande, bien tournée, sentimentale, extrêmement fière de son origine et très éprise de son jeune mari, elle a bravé pour l'épouser la colère de son père, supporté de durs reproches, repoussé avec une inébranlable fermeté ses avertissements et ses prédictions; elle a même quitté la maison paternelle sans sa bénédiction, pour mieux affirmer aux yeux du monde la sincérité de ses sentiments pour ce jeune homme

Following the Equator, published in 1897, was one of Mark Twain's last major works. Written in his now-familiar format of the travel book (seen by the American public in the 1869 Innocents Abroad and the 1872 Roughing It), Following the Equator details Twain's travels in Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa. Unfortunately, Following the Equator is a largely ignored and forgotten work of Twain's. While it is not his most impressive text in terms of humor, description, or style, a close examination of certain scenes in Following the Equator reveals important things about Twain's view of indigenous race in general, and how those views may have changed throughout his life.

Miscellany of fiction, essays, and notes by Mark Twain, published posthumously in 1962. Written over a period of 40 years, the pieces in the anthology are characterized by a sense of ironic pessimism. The title piece comprises letters written by Satan to his fellow angels about the shameless pride and foolishness of humans. "Papers of the Adam Family," a first-person family history of Adam and Eve, traces the first failed attempts at civilization. Other pieces include "A Cat-Tale," an amusing, alliterative bedtime story; "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses," a critique of that author's style; and "The Damned Human Race," a collection of bitter satirical bits. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Dans l'antique Cité de Londres, par un beau jour d'automne du second quart du seizième siècle, naquit à une famille pauvre du nom de Canty un garçon dont elle n'avait que faire. Le même jour un autre enfant anglais naissait à une famille riche du nom de Tudor, qui aurait pu difficilement se passer de lui. Toute l'Angleterre, d'ailleurs, le réclamait avec impatience. L'Angleterre l'avait si longtemps attendu, elle l'avait tant souhaité, elle avait tant prié Dieu de le lui accorder que, maintenant qu'il était là, le peuple était presque fou de contentement. Des gens qui se connaissaient à peine se sautaient au cou et s'embrassaient en pleurant. Tout le monde chômait. Grands et petits, riches et pauvres festoyaient, dansaient, chantaient, s'attendrissaient. Cela dura plusieurs jours et plusieurs nuits

It was many years ago. Hadleyburg was the most honest and upright town in all the region round about. It had kept that reputation unsmirched during three generations, and was prouder of it than of any other of its possessions. It was so proud of it, and so anxious to insure its perpetuation, that it began to teach the principles of honest dealing to its babies in the cradle, and made the like teachings the staple of their culture thenceforward through all the years devoted to their education. Also, throughout the formative years temptations were kept out of the way of the young people, so that their honesty could have every chance to harden and solidify, and become a part of their very bone. The neighbouring towns were jealous of this honourable supremacy, and affected to sneer at Hadleyburg's pride in it and call it vanity; but all the same they were obliged to acknowledge that Hadleyburg was in reality an incorruptible town; and if pressed they would also acknowledge that the mere fact that a young man hailed from Hadleyburg was all the recommendation he needed when he went forth from his natal town to seek for responsible employment.

L'ami de Tom, c'est moi, Huckleberry Finn. Si vous n'avez pas lu les Aventures de Tom Sawyer, vous ne me connaissez pas. Cela ne fait rien: nous aurons vite lié connaissance. M. Mark Twain vous a raconté l'histoire de Tom, et il y a mis un peu du sien, même en parlant de moi. Cela ne fait rien non plus, puisqu'on m'assure qu'il n'a ennuyé personne. La tante Polly, Mary Sawyer et la veuve Douglas ne disaient jamais que la vérité, et elles n'étaient pas toujours amusantes. Je parle de la tante de Tom, de sa cousine, et de la veuve qui m'avait adopté. Au fond, sauf quelques enjolivements, M. Mark Twain a rapporté les faits tels qu'ils se sont passés. Pour ma part, je n'ai pas assez d'esprit pour inventer, je raconterai donc simplement la suite de mes aventures.
