A beautiful edition with the formatting and all 300 images from the original first edition published in 1872. The cover is a Charles Nahl painting from 1852. Use Amazon's Lookinside feature to compare this edition with others. You'll be impressed by the differences. Don't be fooled by other versions that have no illustrations or contain very small print. Reading our edition will make you feel that you are back in Nevada during the silver rush with Mark Twain himself. If you like our book, be sure to leave a review!

A semi-autobiographical account of Mark Twain's early adventures in western America. It is the first of his several travel books. He recounts his attempts at gold and silver mining which led to his becoming a paper millionaire for ten days. He gets involved in real estate speculation amid his time in Nevada and California. He details his trip to Salt Lake City and encounters with the Brigham Young Mormons. At the end of the book, he travels to Hawaii and describes viewing the lava flows and eruptions from the volcanoes that are active even today. It is a thoroughly entertaining tale of the Wild West.

Mark Twain

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mark Twain is the pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910). He was born and brought up in the American state of Missouri and, because of his father's death, he left school to earn his living when he was only twelve. He was a great adventurer and travelled round America as a printer; prospected for gold and set off for South America to earn his fortune. He returned to become a steam-boat pilot on the Mississippi River, close to where he had grown up. The Civil War put an end to steam-boating and Clemens briefly joined the Confederate army - although the rest of his family were Unionists! He had already tried his hand at newspaper reporting and now became a successful journalist. He started to use the alias Mark Twain during the Civil War and it was under this pen name that he became a famous travel writer. He took the name from his steam-boat days - it was the river pilots' cry to let their men know that the water was two fathoms deep.

Mark Twain was always nostalgic about his childhood and in 1876 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was published, based on his own experiences. The book was soon recognised as a work of genius and eight years later the sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, was published. The great writer Ernest Hemingway claimed that 'All modern literature stems from this one book.'

Mark Twain was soon famous all over the world. He made a fortune from writing and lost it on a typesetter he invented. He then made another fortune and lost it on a bad investment. He was an impulsive, hot-tempered man but was also quite sentimental and superstitious. He was born when Halley's Comet was passing the Earth and always believed he would die when it returned - this is exactly what happened.

Sensationally entertaining; like a time-capsule of America in the mid 1800's.

I'd never read any of Mark Twain's writings and decided upon 'Roughing It' as a primer. What an extraordinary book! His style of writing is so very accessable, as though he were relating his experiences, his travels and the people he encountered directly to you, the reader - personally. From St. Jo, Missouri to the Silver Mines of Nevada by Stagecoach, (and even if you've seen hundreds of films involving travel by stagecoach, you've never experienced the ride as Twain does in this book!). To Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and eventually Hawaii. The sites, experiences, the sensory delights are so lively and detailed, you feel as though you are there with him. Laugh-out-loud passages are all through the book as well. I have to say that the countless, wonderful illustrations in this Sea Wolf Press edition are beyond belief! I loved all the illustrations in this edition, make certain you purchase this version, and it will be money well spent!

I got this book because I heard on me tv that Chuck Jones was inspired to create Wile E Coyote after reading it. This book could inspire anybody with it's true life rendering of going out West and even to Hawaii (then known as Sandwich Islands) where he even tried to surf.

Wish printer were larger

Ordered it for my niece who loves to read and hope she would enjoy. She was excited opening the book when I asked to try a few pages to see if the print is too small for her. She said it's a bit small.

I wish the publisher had it in a series so the print could be larger. I am sure classics fans will not mind paying more for better quality books.

The print size cannot be changed! It is very large. It is nice to see all of the original illustrations. It would also be nice to have the chapters active in the Table of Contents.
