Samuel Clemens never intended to become a writer. However, life forced him first to move west, then to quit his struggling mining job and begin writing short stories for a local newspaper. Thus, Sam Clemens became Mark Twain, the most famous humorist in the United States. The writer traveled across the country giving speeches, and newspapers eagerly lapped up his new works. He wrote numerous humorous stories, the best of which are collected in this volume.
Mark Twain's stories are full of not only mischievous humor, absurd situations, and unprecedented events, but also keen observations and a keen understanding of human nature. From this book, you'll learn whether it's worth pursuing journalism in Tennessee, accepting a job as an editor for an agricultural newspaper without any knowledge of the subject, running for governor in New York, or betting on jumping frogs in Calaveras, and much, much more.
