Who Is Mark Twain?ย is a collection of twenty six wickedly funny, thought-provoking essays by Samuel Langhorne Clemensโaka Mark Twainโnone of which have ever been published before.
"You had better shove this in the stove," Mark Twain said at the top of an 1865 letter to his brother, "for I don't want any absurd โliterary remains' and โunpublished letters of Mark Twain' published after I am planted." He was joking, of course. But when Mark Twain died in 1910, he left behind the largest collection of personal papers created by any nineteenth-century American author.ย Who Is Mark Twain?ย presents twenty-six wickedly funny, disarmingly relevant pieces by the American masterโa man who was well ahead of his time.

Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed bookโand, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.ย
