Berkeley, CA:: University of California Press,, (2013). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. The second volume of Twain's autobiography, assembled by the Mark Twain Project of The Bancroft Library with the first volume published on the 100th anniversary of the author's death based on his strict instructions, uncensored and exactly as he wrote it. This volume "delves deeper into Mark TwainÕs life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Filled with his characteristic blend of humor and ire, the narrative ranges effortlessly across the contemporary scene. He shares his views on writing and speaking, his preoccupation with money, and his contempt for the politics and politicians of his day. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view." Includes black and white photographs, explanatory notes and several appendices, index. A massive volume - xix, 733 pp.
