The year 2010 marked the 100th anniversary of Mark Twain's death. In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press published "Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1", the first of a projected three-volume edition of the complete, uncensored autobiography. The book became an immediate bestseller and was hailed as the capstone of the life's work of America's favorite author. This Reader's Edition, a portable paperback in larger type, republishes the text of the hardcover "Autobiography" in a form that is convenient for the general reader, without the editorial explanatory notes. It includes a brief introduction describing the evolution of Mark Twain's ideas about writing his autobiography, as well as a chronology of his life, brief family biographies, and an excerpt from the forthcoming "Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2" - a controversial but characteristically humorous attack on Christian doctrine.
Simon Wheeler, Detective is a mystery novel written by Mark Twain. The story follows the titular character, Simon Wheeler, who is a detective in a small town in the American West. When a wealthy businessman is found dead in his home, Wheeler is called in to investigate. As he delves deeper into the case, Wheeler uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal among the victim's family and associates. Along the way, he must navigate the town's politics and deal with his own personal demons. The novel is a departure from Twain's usual style of humor and satire, instead focusing on suspense and intrigue. It offers a glimpse into the world of small-town America in the late 19th century, with vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people who inhabit it. Overall, Simon Wheeler, Detective is a gripping tale of murder and mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. ‘You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.’ Knocked unconscious, it is only when mechanic Hank Morgan comes to that he finds himself in 6th-century England rather than nineteenth-century America. Surrounded by the traditions and customs of Camelot and King Arthur’s court, Morgan dislikes the hereditary social class structure and state church and attempts to instil his American idealism and love for technology and progress in King Arthur’s people. Hugely comedic and satirical in its take on the British monarchy and society, the book remains one of Twain’s most original and best-loved works.
