As Mark Twain, he was the Mississippi riverboat pilot, the satirist with a fiery hatred of pretension, and the author of such classics as Tom Sawyer andHuckleberry Finn. As Mr. Clemens, he was the star who married an heiress, built a palatial estate, threw away fortunes on harebrained financial schemes, and lived the extravagant life that Mark Twain despised. Kaplan effectively portrays the triumphant-tragic man whose achievements and failures, laughter and anger, reflect a crucial generation in our past as well as his own dark, divided, and remarkably contemporary spirit.\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" style='box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \"Amazon Ember\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic !important;'\u003eMr. Clemens and Mark Twain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style='box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \"Amazon Ember\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;'\u003e brilliantly conveys this towering literary figure who was himself a symbol of the peculiarly American conflict between moral scrutiny and the drive to succeed. Mr. Clemens lived the Gilded Life that Mark Twain despised. The merging and fragmenting of these and other identities, as the biography unfolds, results in a magnificent projection of the whole man; the great comic spirit; and the exuberant, tragic human being, who, his friend William Dean Howells said, was “sole, incomparable, the Lincoln of our literature.”\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Arial\",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:\n\"Times New Roman\";color:black;mso-font-kerning:0pt;mso-ligatures:none;\nmso-fareast-language:DE'\u003eBitte beachten Sie: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Arial\",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:\n\"Times New Roman\";color:black;mso-font-kerning:0pt;mso-ligatures:none;\nmso-fareast-language:DE'\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:\nnormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Arial\",sans-serif;\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";color:black;mso-font-kerning:0pt;\nmso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:DE'\u003eWenn Sie den Versand als\nunversicherte Büchersendung wählen, komme ich für den Verlust des Buches auf\ndem Postweg \u003cb\u003enicht\u003c\/b\u003e auf.
