It completes the story begun there of Samuel Clemens's business affairs, especially insofar as they concern dealings with publishers; and it documents Clemens's progress from financial disaster, with the Paige typesetter and Webster & Company, to renewed prosperity under the steady, skillful hand of H. H. Rogers. But Clemens's correspondence with Rogers reveals more than a business relationship. It illuminates a friendship which Clemens came to value above all others, and it suggests a profound change in his patterns of living. He who during the Hartford years had been a devoted family man, content with a discrete circle of intimates, now became again (as he had been during the Nevada and California years) a man among sporting men, enjoying prizefights and professional billiard matches in public, and-in private-long days of poker, gruff jest, and good Scotch whisky aboard Rogers's magnificent yacht. 410 0$aMark Twain Papers 606 $aÉcrivains américains$xCorrespondance$x19e siècle 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / American / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aÉcrivains américains$xCorrespondance$x19e siècle. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / American / General. 676 $a817/.4 700 $aTwain$b Mark$f1835-1910.$027404 701 $aRogers$b Henry Huttleston$f1840-1909.$01049434 701 $aLeary$b Lewis Gaston$f1906-1990.$0119188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454777803321 996 $aMark Twain's correspondence with Henry Huttleston Rogers, 1893-1909$92478430 997 $aUNINA
