In previous books- Around the World in 80 days, for instance- I have enjoyed the humorous slights poked at the earlier settlers of Utah. However, being a "Mormon," I was slightly taken aback by Twain's seeming malicious attack at them. Especially his "factual" account in an appendix in the back of the earlier history. That being said It's a bit too long- even for me. But it was quite funny. And I enjoyed most of it. Just not the SLC part.
Mark Twain helped to devise the personal style of American travel writing. Dry guidebook facts were not for him. He could not help turning everything he saw into literature when he trained his keen eye on foreign people and places. No matter what unusual customs he saw or monuments he climbed, he remained Mark Twain - a wised-up observer disguised as a wide-eyed innocent.

HTML: Books such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn have firmly established Mark Twain's reputation as one of the best-loved American humorists, but the author's non-fiction works are packed with as much laughter and keen insight as his popular novels. In the series of essays presented in the volume Roughing It, Twain recounts his years as a soldier, sailor, and speculator in the Wild West. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
