Life on the Mississippi
O książce
Before Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn, there was the river that shaped them all.
Life on the Mississippi is Mark Twain's evocative and humorous memoir about his years as a steamboat pilot on the mighty Mississippi River. Blending sharp wit with rich history and observation, Twain recounts tales of riverboat culture, colorful characters, and the evolving landscape of America before and after the Civil War.
With Twain's unmistakable voice—equal parts satirist, historian, and storyteller—this book captures the spirit of a vanishing world and the industrial transformation of the American South and Midwest.
This beautifully formatted edition includes illustrations, historical annotations, and maps to bring Twain's river to life for modern readers.
