What has come to be known as the Matter of Hannibal inspired two of his most famous books, \u003ci\u003eTom Sawyer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHuckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e, and provided the basis for the eleven pieces reprinted here. Most of these selections (eight of them fiction and three of them autobiographical) were never completed, and all were left unpublished. Written between 1868 and 1902, they include a diverse assortment of adventures, satires, and reminiscences in which the characters of his own childhood and of his best-loved fiction, particularly Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, come alive again. The autobiographical recollections culminate in an astounding feat of memory titled \"Villagers of 1840-3\" in which the author, writing for himself alone at the age of sixty-one, recalls with humor and pathos the characters of some one hundred and fifty people from his childhood. Accompanied by notes that reflect extensive new research on Mark Twain's early life in Missouri, the selections in this volume offer a revealing view of Mark Twain's varied and repeated attempts to give literary expression to the Matter of Hannibal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Twain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.54w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520271500","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40521519497331,"sku":"9.78052E+12","price":27.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_5f4de6d3-8aaa-4a71-9e6e-fb6494634b32.jpg?v=1666099881","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/huck-finn-and-tom-sawyer-among-the-indians-and-other-unfinished-storiesvolume-7-9780520271500","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
