Mark Twain Lot of 29 Classic Novels & Short Stories Audiobooks in 31 MP3 CDs Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910), known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was lauded as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature". His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), the latter of which has often been called the "Great American Novel". More Newspaper Articles by Mark TwainRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:21:23:02 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Single Author Collections, Literary Collections"More Newspaper Articles by Mark Twain" fills in the gaps left by the first collection of newspaper articles: "Newspaper Articles by Mark Twain" . The missing articles, collected by twainquotes.com, consist of works printed in the Muscatine Journal, the Keokuk Daily Post, the New York Sunday Mercury, the Golden Era, the Californian, The Daily Dramatic Chronicle, San Francisco Bulletin, the New York Herald and travel letters originally printed in the Chicago Daily tribune. The earliest articles first appeared in 1853.This collection contains only the work of Mark Twain (and articles relating to him) that are in the public domain. It does NOT contain articles that were re-printed from original sources (those original articles can be found in the first collection). Introductory and editorial material on these articles is available at the Twainquotes website.Special thanks to Barbara Schmidt and twainquotes.com for the use of the collected public domain articles and to Eberhard Schneider for the German segments found in sections 151 and 153. Text sources:- Muscatine Journal- Keokuk Post- New York Sunday Mercury- The Golden Era- The Californian- San Francisco Dramatic Chronicle- San Francisco Bulletin- New York Herald- Travel Letters The Letters of Mark Twain, CompleteRead by James K. WhiteRunning Time:32:45:20 in 2 MP3 Audio CDsGenre(s): LettersThese letters were arranged in two volumes by Albert Bigelow Paine, Samuel L. Clemens's literary executor, as a supplement to Mark Twain, A Biography, which Paine wrote. They are, for the most part, every letter written by Clemens known to exist at the time of their publication in 1917. They begin with a fragment of a letter from teenaged Sam Clemens to his sister, Pamela, and conclude with a letter to his attorney two weeks before his death.These letters give us some degree of insight into the evolution of Twain's style of speech and prose over the period of his lifetime; they are a small window into the psyche that created the various characters of his stories.But they also reveal the tragedies of his life: the lack of success in his business ventures, the passing of family. And as I read each one in this collection, I can almost detect the faint odor of one of his “devilish” cigars wafting across the room. Mark Twain's Journal Writings, Volume 1Read by John GreenmanRunning Time:2:31:53 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Essays & Short Works, HumorVolume 1 contains these 12 essays: 1.)

Mark Twain’s Journal Writings, Volume 2Read by John GreenmanRunning Time:2:39:57 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Essays & Short Works, HumorThis second collection of essays by Mark Twain is a good example of the diversity of subject matter about which he wrote. As with the essays in Volume 1, many first appeared alone, in magazines or newspapers, before being printed as chapters of his larger works, while others were taken from larger works and reprinted in collections of essays. On top of being prolific, Mark Twain was a very successful marketer of his works. Volume 2 contains the following works: 1.) "A Curious Experience" - 1892 2.) "The Heart of a Humorist" - 1900 3.) “How Tom Sawyer Got His Fence Whitewashed”- 18764.) "Jim Smiley's Frog" - 1870 5.) "Luck" - 18916.) “A Dog’s Tale” - 1904 7.) "Lost in the Snow" - 1888 8.) "Mark Twain on Overspeeding" - 1908 9.) "A Medieval Romance" 1907 Mark Twain’s Journal Writings, Volume 3Read by John GreenmanRunning Time:3:41:12 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Humor, Literary CollectionsThis third volume of Mark Twain's journal writings continues on eclectic and varied path established by the first two volumes. Included in this collection are works that appeared by themselves in magazines during Twain's lifetime, as well as essays taken by editors and Twain himself from Twain's larger works, and re-published in collections of his stories. This volume includes the following works: "Buying Gloves in Gibraltar", "The great revolution in Pitcairn", "A Gift from India" [including editor's notes about Twain’s need to go on the lecture circuit, his authorship of Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc and other items], "From India to South Africa", "The Esquimau Maiden's Romance", "At the Appetitecure", "Edward Mills and George Benton: A Tale", "Does the Race of Man Love a Lord?" The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other StoriesRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:13:04:00 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Humorous Fiction, Short Stories"The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" is a piece of short fiction by Mark Twain. It first appeared in Harper's Monthly in December 1899, and was subsequently published by Harper Collins in the collection The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other Stories and Sketches (1900). This recording contains all the stories and sketches from the 1900 Harper Collins publication. Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First RomanceRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:0:34:34 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Fictional Biographies & Memoirs, Humorous FictionMark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance, a short volume, published by Sheldon & Co., NY in 1871, is Mark Twain's third book. It consists of two stories - First Romance, which had originally appeared in The Express in 1870, and A Burlesque Autobiography (bearing no relationship to Twain's actual life), which first appeared in Twain's Memoranda contributions to the Galaxy. Rather, the content consists of a few short stories of fictional characters who are supposedly part of Twain's lineage. In the final passage, Twain develops the story to a point of crisis, and then abruptly ends the tale, saying:“The truth is, I have got my hero (or heroine) into such a particularly close place, that I do not see how I am ever going to get him (or her) out of it again—and therefore I will wash my hands of the whole business, and leave that person to get out the best way that offers—or else stay there. I thought it was going to be easy enough to straighten out that little difficulty, but it looks different now. ” With that, Twain's "Autobiography" ends. Newspaper Articles by Mark TwainRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:50:57:04 in 3 MP3 Audio CDsGenre(s): Literary CollectionsThis is a collection of newspaper articles written by Samuel Clemens, for various newspapers, between 1862 and 1881. After Feb 3rd 1863, he began using the pen name Mark Twain. This compilation is the work of Project Gutenberg and contains articles from TERRITORIAL ENTERPRISE, THE SAN FRANCISCO DAILY MORNING CALL, THE SACRAMENTO DAILY UNION, DAILY HAWAIIAN HERALD, ALTA CALIFORNIA, THE CHICAGO REPUBLICAN, and THE GALAXY. Old Times on the MississippiRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:3:38:16 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): *Non-fiction, Travel & GeographyOld Times on the Mississippi is a non-fiction work by Mark Twain. It was published in 1876. Originally published in serial form in the Atlantic Monthly, in 1875, this same work was published as chapters 4 through 17 in Twain's later work, Life on the Mississippi (1883). Old Times on the the Mississippi has one last chapter that has nothing to do with the rest of the book. A Literary Nightmare describes the funny/sad/maddening effect that a catchy jingle can have on those unlucky enough to be captured by one. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, Volumes 1 & 2Read by John GreenmanRunning Time:15:18:52 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Historical Fiction, War & Military FictionMark Twain's work on Joan of Arc is titled in full "Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, by the Sieur Louis de Conte." De Conte is identified as Joan's page and secretary. For those who've always wanted to "get behind" the Joan of Arc story and to better understand just what happened, Twain's narrative makes the story personal and very accessible. Sketches New and OldRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:10:33:53 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Humorous Fiction, Short StoriesThis collection of 63 writings by Mark Twain was published in 1882. Among other sketches, it contains "The Jumping Frog" in the original English, followed by a French translation which Twain re-translated into English, showing how the French translation of his work was "badly flawed." In many of these sketches, Twain shows his talent for outrageous and hilarious inventiveness, often in reaction to current events. Some Rambling Notes of an Idle ExcursionRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:1:43:01 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Essays & Short Works, Travel & Geography, MemoirsWritten for the Atlantic magazine in 1877, this is a collection of stories about a trip Mark Twain made with some friends to Bermuda.

This humorous text is a day-to-day account of Adam’s life from happiness in the “GARDEN-OF-EDEN” to their fall from grace and the events thereafter. Learn how Eve caught the infant Cain, and Adam takes some time to learn exactly what it is. Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences Read by GesineRunning Time:00:32:42 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Satire, Literary CriticismThis is Mark Twain's vicious and amusing review of Fenimore Cooper's literary art. It is still read widely in academic circles. Twain's essay, Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses (often spelled "Offences") (1895), particularly criticized The Deerslayer and The Pathfinder. Twain wrote at the beginning of the essay: 'In one place in Deerslayer, and in the restricted space of two-thirds of a page, Cooper has scored 114 offenses against literary art out of a possible 115. It breaks the record.' Twain listed 19 rules 'governing literary art in domain of romantic fiction', 18 of which Cooper violates in The Deerslayer. Following the Equator: A Journey Around the WorldRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:20:14:12 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Humor, Social Science (Culture & Anthropology), Travel & GeographyFollowing the Equator (American English title) or More Tramps Abroad (English title) is a non-fiction travelogue published by American author Mark Twain in 1897. The Gilded Age, A Tale of TodayMark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner Read by John GreenmanRunning Time:16:09:02 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): General Fiction, SatireThe Gilded Age: A Tale of Today is an 1873 novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that satirizes greed and political corruption in post-Civil War America. The term gilded age, commonly given to the era, comes from the title of this book. Twain and Warner got the name from Shakespeare's King John (1595): "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily... is wasteful and ridiculous excess." Gilding a lily, which is already beautiful and not in need of further adornment, is excessive and wasteful, characteristics of the age Twain and Warner wrote about in their novel. Another interpretation of the title, of course, is the contrast between an ideal "Golden Age," and a less worthy "Gilded Age," as gilding is only a thin layer of gold over baser metal, so the title now takes on a pejorative meaning as to the novel's time, events and people. Goldsmith's Friend Abroad AgainRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:0:37:27 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Epistolary Fiction, Historical Fiction, SatireThis satire on the U.S.A.'s myth of being the "Home of the Oppressed, where all men are free and equal", is unrelenting in its pursuit of justice through exposure. It draws a scathingly shameful portrait of how Chinese immigrants were treated in 19th century San Francisco. A Horse's TaleRead by Gregg MargariteRunning Time:1:49:03 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Historical Fiction, Nature & Animal FictionSoldier Boy is the top steed at Fort Paxton. He is Buffalo Bill’s favorite horse and has led a life of glory and honor. One day General Alison’s orphaned niece arrives and proceeds to charm every man, woman, and beast for miles around including Soldier Boy. Buffalo Bill takes her under his wing and ultimately “lends” her Soldier Boy so that they may seek adventure together. And so they do. – “A Horse’s Tale” was first published in the August and September, 1906 issues of Harper’s Monthly magazine. Anti-imperialist WritingsRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:5:11:10 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Satire, Literary CollectionsThis audiobook is a collection of Mark Twain's anti-imperialist writings (newspaper articles, interviews, speeches, letters, essays and pamphlets). Chapters from my AutobiographyRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:10:34:51 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Biography & Autobiography, HumorSamuel Clemens (Mark Twain) began writing his autobiography long before the 1906 publications of these Chapters from my Autobiography. He originally planned to have his memoirs published only after his death but realized, once he’d passed his 70th year, that a lot of the material might be OK to publish before his departure. These chapters were published in serial form in the North American Review during 1906-1907. While much of the material consists of stories about the people, places and incidents of his long life, there are also several sections from his daughter, which he calls “Susy’s biography of me”. The £1,000,000 Bank-Note & other new StoriesRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:7:10:54 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): General Fiction, Single Author CollectionsCollection contains:The £1,000,000 Bank-NoteMental TelegraphyA Cure for the BluesThe Enemy Conquered; or, Love TriumphantAbout all Kinds of ShipsPlaying CourierThe German ChicagoA Petition to the Queen of EnglandA Majestic Literary FossilThis Mark Twain short story collection was published in 1893, in a disastrous decade for the United States, a time marked by doubt and waning optimism, rapid immigration, labor problems, and the rise of political violence and social protest.It was also a difficult time for Twain personally, as he was forced into bankruptcy and devastated by the death of his favorite daughter, Suzy. Yet the title story still brims with confidence and optimism, marking the moment of hope just before Twain turned to the grim stories of his later years. The American ClaimantRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:6:42:30 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): General Fiction, Historical Fiction, Humorous FictionThe American Claimant is an 1892 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. The story focuses on the class differences and expectations of monarchic, hierarchical Britain and the upstart, "all men are created equal" America. Twain wrote the novel with the help of phonographic dictation, the first author (according to Twain himself) to do so. This was also (according to Twain) an attempt to write a book without mention of the weather, the first of its kind in fictitious literature. Indeed, all the weather is contained in an appendix, at the back of the book, which the reader is encouraged to turn to from time to time. The Curious Republic of Gondour and Other Whimsical SketchesRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:1:53:03 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): General Fiction, Short StoriesAs the title reveals, these stories are a collection of some of Mark Twain's more fanciful and eccentric works. They run the gamut from political commentary to our species' need to "be remembered" somehow. Taken as a whole the stories are "whimsical". Taken individually, they speak the truth in different ways. The Jumping FrogRead by Ruth Golding and DidierRunning Time:1:05:11 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Humorous FictionLanguage: Multilingual"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is an 1865 short story by Mark Twain. It was also published as "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog." In it, the narrator retells a story he heard from a bartender, Simon Wheeler, at the Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, about the gambler Jim Smiley. Upon discovering a French translation of this story, Twain re-translated the story, word for word and keeping the French grammar structure, back into English. He then published all three versions under the title "The Jumping Frog: In English, Then in French, and Then Clawed Back Into A Civilized Language Once More by Patient, Unremunerated Toil." The Treaty with ChinaRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:0:46:48 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Essays & Short Works, Political Science"A good candidate for 'the most under-appreciated work by Mark Twain' would be 'The Treaty With China,' which he published in the New York Tribune in 1868. This piece, which is an early statement of Twain's opposition to imperialism and which conveys his vision of how the U.S. ought to behave on the global stage, has not been reprinted since its original publication until now." Those Extraordinary TwinsRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:2:14:52 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Humorous Fiction"Those Extraordinary Twins" was published as a short story, separate and distinct from its origins inside Twain's "The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson". As Twain explains, he extricated "Twins" from "Pudd'nhead" when he found, as he was writing, that he'd created a farce inside a tragedy. This is the excised farce, a story about Italian Siamese twins who completely take over a small Missouri town, splitting it down the middle with half supporting one head and the other, the other. Tom Sawyer Abroad by Huck FinnRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:3:06:51 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Action & Adventure Fiction, Travel Fiction, Humorous FictionTom Sawyer Abroad is a novel by Mark Twain published in 1894. It features Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a parody of Jules Verne-esque adventure stories. In the story, Tom, Huck, and Jim set sail to Africa in a futuristic hot air balloon, where they survive encounters with lions, robbers, and fleas to see some of the world's greatest wonders, including the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, Detective, the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn. What is Man? and Other EssaysRead by John GreenmanRunning Time:10:37:39 in 1 MP3 Audio CDGenre(s): Satire, Essays & Short Works"What Is Man?", published by Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position. This collection of short stories covers a wide range of Twain's interests: the serious, the political and the ironically humorous.
