"The Mississippi is well worth reading about. It is not a commonplace river but on the contrary is in all ways remarkable."-- Mark Twain

0riginally published in 1883, "Life on the Mississippi" is Mark Twain's memoir of his youthful years as a cub pilot on a steamboat paddling up and down the Mississippi River. Twain used his childhood experiences growing up along the Mississippi in a number of works, including "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," but nowhere is the river and the pilot's life more thoroughly described than in this work. Told with insight, humor, and candor, "Life on the Mississippi" is an American classic.-- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe:Taschenbuch
