The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County

Mark Twain‘s sense of humor is on display in this edition of the Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, a volume that contains some bonus material bound to amuse those who enjoy the peculiarities of language, and who have tried, even once upon a time, to translate anything, from one language to another.  As the publishers description on Amazon says:

Containing the original story (in english), a french translation which was published in la Revue des Deux Mondes and which Twain finds to be a travesty of the original text, and Twain’s re-translation of the french back into english, word for word (this is where things degenerate). A masterpiece of babelfishien nonsense dating from well before babelfish was even a gleam in the binary code of its creator (1903). Best appreciated if you can read both French and English, but even if you skip the french version it’s truly brilliant. If you have ever translated random text using babelfish just because it’s funny, don’t miss this book.

As good old Samuel Clemens himself put it in his foreword “I cannot speak the French language, but I can translate very well, though not fast, I being self-educated.”

The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg

If you are a fan of Mark Twain, you’ve probably already read the Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg… but if you have not already read this classic work by the renowned American Author, take it out for a spin and sit with it for a few minutes.

This is a great story about a man who goes to a town full of people who believe they are beyond temptation… and gives them a chance to see themselves through his eyes.  He does this not to be cruel, but because he was there before, and he found the town did not live up to its reputation, and he has hopes that perhaps, if they have an opportunity to see themselves as he does, they will reconsider… if nothing else, their town motto.

King Arthur

For hundreds of years King Arthur has reigned over the imaginations of young and old alike.  The appeal of this mythic King has been so profound that not only have readers the early stories about him, like Thomas Malory’s Le Mort D’Arthur, but authors have continued to visit Camelot and King Arthur’s court, up to and including a visit from by a Connecticut Yankee courtesy of Mark Twain.

Hourly History’s King Arthur: A Life From Beginning to End is an interesting read that provides an overview of the Myth of King Arthur in the context of the history of Britain, highlighting how the Myth changed and evolved as the British Isles underwent invasions and cultural changes.  The Myth was adapted and evolved as the needs of those who were reading, and enjoying it, changed… King Arthur was, truly, a leader for all times, and all generations.

Copies of  King Arthur: A Life From Beginning to End, Thomas Malory’s Le Mort D’Arthur, and a few other King Arthur stories have been added to the CheerUp.Fun September Free eBook Library.  The first 100 people to sign up should receive a free copy added to their Kindle Library.  To sign up, click this link, and follow the prompts at the Amazon page.  Once you have joined the CheerUp.Fun September Free eBook Library, as recommended books are selected and shared during the month, they will be added to your Kindle Library.

Tom Sawyer

The Amazon description of Tom Sawyer is a good one, so I’ll share it here:

Whether he’s sneaking doughnuts, mooning over a pretty girl, or snookering the local boys to do his work for him, Tom Sawyer is the consummate schemer—but his charm and easygoing nature keep him from being in anyone’s bad graces for long. However, when Tom teams up with his friend Huck Finn, their sleepy Missouri town had better watch out.

Based on Mark Twain’s memories of growing up along the Mississippi River, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is both an idyllic picture of boyhood and an affectionate satire of adult conventions.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

Tom Sawyer Abroad

There are some authors, and some books, that almost every one in America was assigned to read in school.  Mark Twain, whether it was Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn (Huck Finn to his friends) seems to be in that category.  In High School I discovered one of my favorite works by Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer Abroad.  The sense of humor stuck with me… and I found myself quoting it to others for YEARS.  To this day I can still relate a scene from it, because Mark Twain captured two boys on an adventure together so well… he also so perfectly captured their understanding of their world – and the fact there was still more for them to learn.

The Prince, the Pauper and Pudd’nhead Wilson

Two of Mark Twain‘s stories that are equally entertaining and thought provoking are “Pudd’nhead Wilson” and “The Prince and the Pauper.”  While the circumstances are very different, each story involves dreams of how the other half lives… and in the case of the Prince the Pauper an opportunity arises in which two switch places and instead of merely dreaming, they experience the trials and travails of what they always supposed was an idyllic existence.

Where the Prince and the Pauper hinges on the experiences of the boys, and the world is seen more from their perspective, it is in Pudd’nhead Wilson that we get a stronger view of a parent’s dreams for their child, and the lengths to which they will go to try and help their child attain every advantage in life.

Mark Twain’s Comedy Classics

  Mark Twain wrote short stories and comedic pieces with turns of phrase that stay with readers for weeks, months, even years after they have read them.  It is just one of the many reasons why his works are not only read in schools, but recommended by friends who care about those they like who enjoy a good read.

With Amazon crediting this digital collection as containing over 3100 pages, odds are there is something in here every reader will enjoy.
