Synopsis "Europe and Elsewhere (in English)"

"In like manner the American author who has chosen to call himself Mark Twain has attained to an immense popularity because the qualities he possesses in a high degree appeal to so many and so widely varied publics."-Brander Matthews (1899) Europe and Elsewhere is a collection of essays by Mark Twain that was edited by Albert Bigelow Paine, Twain's literary estate agent and biographer, and published posthumously in 1923. This jacketed hardcover replica of the original edition of Europe and Elsewhere, including The War Prayer (1905), a short story indicting war; The United States of Lyncherdom (1901), an essay against the mass lynching in Pierce City, Missouri; To the Person Sitting in Darkness (1901), a satiric essay expressing Twain's anti-imperialistic views; and thirty-two other essays makes this book an unique collectors' item for Mark Twain aficionados, literary historians, and readers of American literature.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, más conocido como Mark Twain, ha pasado a la historia de la literatura gracias al ingenio, humor y picardía que destila su obra. A menudo considerado el Dickens estadounidense, Twain fue periodista, tipógrafo, escritor y, sobre todo, un aventurero incansable. Su sed de aventuras lo llevó en un largo periplo lleno de experiencias: fue aprendiz de piloto, buscó fortuna en las minas de plata, recorrió el mundo dando conferencias y fue nombrado doctor honoris causa por la universidad de Oxford. Todo ello lo inspiró para empezar a escribir pequeños cuadernos de viaje que publicaba en la prensa. Se calcula que llegó a escribir más de 500 obras, entre las que destacan _Las aventuras de Huckelberry Finn_ y _Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer_: dos novelas en las que Twain evoca una infancia inocente y feliz, en la que brillan la ilusión y la rebeldía que preceden a la edad adulta. Mark Twain nació durante una de las apariciones del cometa Halley, y predijo que “se marcharía con él”. Efectivamente, el autor nos dejó el 21 de abril de 1910, a la estela de una nueva visita del cometa. ‍
