He begins wherever he pleases, moving through childhood, family, money, grief and opinions. There is no tidy march through dates. Instead, a born storyteller jokes, wanders, settles scores and sometimes drops the laughter to tell you something painful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis memories lead to Hannibal on the Mississippi, summers on a Missouri farm and the Hartford household he shares with Olivia Langdon, whom he calls Livy. Alongside these warm scenes come business ventures and heavy losses. Throughout, Twain's timing and understatement bring comedy close to sorrow, without forcing either into a neat life story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll discover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMemory without a timetable\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow Twain's wandering attention and discover a life told through what matters to him.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoyhood beside the Mississippi\u003c\/strong\u003e – Visit Hannibal and the farm summers that fill some of his warmest childhood recollections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLove beneath the laughter\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet Livy and glimpse the family happiness that gives his grief its weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoney and costly mistakes\u003c\/strong\u003e – See the businessman behind the storyteller, with investments in inventions and his own publishing firm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumor with a straight face\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enjoy slowly built stories where an absurd detail arrives as though nothing unusual has happened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who love Twain's voice, enjoy a rambling memoir and want the man behind Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and let Twain's memories take the lead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534647230812,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/04218_en_ebook-front_c20.jpg?v=1792175003","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/es\/products\/capitulos-de-mi-autobiografia","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
