Simon and Schuster, New York. (1996), 1966. Simon and Schuster, New York. (1996). . Black cloth over boards, silver designs and lettering. VERY/DJ GOOD- -. With brilliant immediacy, Mr Clemens & Mark Twain brings to life a towering literary figure whose dual personae symbolized the emerging American conflict between down-to-earth morality & freewheeling ambition. As Mark Twain, he was the Mississippi riverboat pilot, the satirist with a fiery hatred of pretension, & the author of such classics as Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn. As Mr Clemens, he was the star who married an heiress, built a palatial estate, threw away fortunes on harebrained financial schemes & lived the extravagant life that Twain despised. Set against the richly drawn background of the post-Civil War period that Twain dubbed the "Gilded Age," Mr. Clemens & Mark Twain is sure to entertain & enlighten both general readers & scholars alike.
