Guide Review

Mark Twain: Gilded Age and Later Novels
Library of America offers background on the author and the works in the form of a chronology, notes on the texts, introductions, and more. Mark Twain once wrote, "Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand." And, with that, Twain creates some of his most powerful and enduring works. These works are not as well-known, or read; but pure Twain shines through. How can we hope to forget him? Read more about this collection...
