Mark Twain: The Novels

"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus." From the sun-drenched banks of the Mississippi and the timeless adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, the far-flung kingdoms and the whimsical time-bending of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, to the biting social satire of The Gilded Age, this comprehensive collection of unabridged recordings of Mark Twain's twelve novels is a celebration of storytelling at its most spirited. Included here are: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn The Adventures of Tom Sawyer A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Coat The Gilded Age Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc A Prince and the Pauper The American Claimant Tom Sawyer Abroad Tom Sawyer, Detective Pudd'nhead Wilson A Horse's Tale The Mysterious Stranger Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain (1835–1910), grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River, and his early experiences inspired many of his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Widely celebrated as America's greatest humorist, Twain captured the spirit of a rapidly changing nation, and his sharp wit, keen eye for human nature, and gift for storytelling made him not only a beloved novelist but also a popular lecturer and essayist. Twain's innovative style, character-driven storytelling and ability to interweave humour with profound social critique laid the groundwork for modern American literature and has inspired countless authors, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Indeed, Hemingway famously declared that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." This audiobook is fully indexed.
