SYNOPSIS
Mark Twain's final and uncensored masterpiece, presented in three volumes, is a landmark publication in American literature.
"Twain will begin to seem strange again, alluring and still astonishing . . . in ways that still resonate with us."—New York Times
"His crystalline humor and expansive range are a continuous source of delight and awe."—Los Angeles Times Book Review
When the first volume of Mark Twain’s uncensored Autobiography was published in 2010, it was hailed as an essential addition to the shelf of his works and a crucial document for our understanding of the great humorist’s life and times. This third and final volume crowns and completes his life’s work. Like its companion volumes, it chronicles Twain's inner and outer life through a series of daily dictations that go wherever his fancy leads.
Created from March 1907 to December 1909, these dictations present Mark Twain at the end of his life: receiving an honorary degree from Oxford University; railing against Theodore Roosevelt; founding numerous clubs; incredulous at an exhibition of the Holy Grail; credulous about the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays; relaxing in Bermuda; observing (and investing in) new technologies. The Autobiography’s "Closing Words" movingly commemorate his daughter Jean, who died on Christmas Eve 1909. Also included in this volume is the previously unpublished "Ashcroft-Lyon Manuscript," Mark Twain’s caustic indictment of his "putrescent pair" of secretaries and the havoc that erupted in his house during their residency.
Fitfully published in fragments at intervals throughout the twentieth century, Autobiography of Mark Twain has now been critically reconstructed and made available as it was intended to be read. Fully annotated by the editors of the Mark Twain Project, the complete Autobiography emerges as a landmark publication in American literature.
Editors: Benjamin Griffin and Harriet Elinor Smith
Associate Editors: Victor Fischer, Michael B. Frank, Amanda Gagel, Sharon K. Goetz, Leslie Diane Myrick, Christopher M. Ohge

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mark Twain
Mark Twain (1835-1910) foi batizado como Samuel Langhorne Clemens, mas esse nome ficaria para sempre na sombra do seu pseudónimo. Filho de um advogado severo, terá sido a mãe a despertar-lhe o sentido de humor. Se não há dúvida de que a sua obra é variada, mais curioso será notar que a sua vida profissional o foi mais ainda. Twain começou por trabalhar como aprendiz de tipógrafo, em 1848, e alguns anos mais tarde já contribuía com artigos e histórias humorísticas para o jornal de um irmão. Mais velho, numa viagem pelo Mississípi a bordo de um barco a vapor, terá ficado fascinado com o trabalho do piloto, e dedicou dois anos da sua vida à aprendizagem deste ofício. Uma das muitas viagens da sua vida levou-o, algum tempo depois, a uma mina de prata no Nevada, onde tentou ser mineiro, sem grande sucesso. Em contrapartida, encontrou trabalho no jornal da zona. Foi aqui que, da pena de Samuel Clemens, então com 27 anos, nasceu Mark Twain. É autor de A Viagem dos Inocentes (Tinta-da-china, 2010) e de duas obras a que é invariavelmente associado: As Aventuras de Tom Sawyer (1876) e As Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn (1884).
