In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press published Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, the first of a projected three-volume edition of the complete, uncensored autobiography. The book became an immediate bestseller and was hailed as the capstone of the life's work of America's favorite author.This Reader's Edition, a portable paperback in larger type, republishes the text of the hardcover Autobiography in a form that is convenient for the general reader, without the editorial explanatory notes. It includes a brief introduction describing the evolution of Mark Twain's ideas about writing his autobiography, as well as a chronology of his life, brief family biographies, and an excerpt from the forthcoming Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2-a controversial but characteristically humorous attack on Christian doctrine.Authors, American -- 19th century -- BiographyTwain, Mark, -- 1835-1910Twain, MarkEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCAmerican LiteratureHILCCElectronic books.Authors, American -- 19th century -- Biography.Twain, Mark, -- 1835-1910.Twain, Mark.EnglishLanguages & LiteraturesAmerican Literature817Twain Mark1835-1910,authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut27404Smith Harriet E.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910457165603321Autobiography of Mark Twain17016UNINA
