Bag om Mark Twain's 1601

Mark Twain's 1601: Conversation As It Was By The Social Fireside In The Time Of The Tudors is a satirical and irreverent work of fiction that takes a humorous look at life and society in the Elizabethan era. The book is presented as a series of conversations between a group of nobles and courtiers who gather around a fire to drink and talk. The conversations are filled with bawdy jokes, scatological humor, and ribald commentary on the various figures of the day, including Queen Elizabeth I herself. Despite its crude and often offensive content, 1601 is considered a classic of American literature and a seminal work of Twain's career. The book is a testament to Twain's wit and humor, as well as his ability to use satire to comment on the social and political issues of his time. It is also notable for its use of language, which is deliberately archaic and ornate, designed to mimic the speech patterns of the Tudor period. Overall, Mark Twain's 1601 is a raunchy and hilarious romp through the court of Queen Elizabeth I, filled with scathing commentary on the hypocrisy and absurdity of the social norms of the time. It is a must-read for fans of Twain's work and anyone who enjoys irreverent humor and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
