1871 1st Mark Twain's Burlesque Autobiography

Item Details

Description

1871 1st Mark Twain's Burlesque Autobiography First Romance Illustrated

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

― Mark Twain

“Autobiography and First Romance” by Mark Twain, is another nonsensical spoof from one of America’s best 19th Century authors. Sprinkled with absurd names, alias’ and deeds the family tree soon fills with shadowy and undesirable sorts of all shapes and sizes. In the second section, Twain tells the story of a ludicrously fabricated power struggle in a European Duchy. The intrigue gradually builds to an abrupt and surprising climax

The book was not one of Twain's personal favorites. Two years after publication, he bought all of the printing plates of the book and destroyed them.

This first issue edition is bound in the original publisher’s cloth and is illustrated throughout.
