内容説明

This is an engaging portrait of a famous author at a formative and important juncture of his life. In August 1869, a 33-year old journalist named Samuel Clemens - later to be known as Mark Twain - moved to Buffalo, New York. At the time, he had high hopes of establishing himself as a successful newspaper editor of the Buffalo Morning Express. This engaging portrait of the famous author at a formative and important juncture in his life, details the domestic, social, and professional experiences of Twain while he lived in Buffalo. The book draws a vivid portrait of Twain's work environment at the Express. Colourful anecdotes about his colleagues and his quirky work habits, along with original Twain stories and illustrations not previously reprinted, give readers a new understanding of Twain's commitment to newspaper work.
