They said they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, our fun-loving protagonist goes on multiple adventures, getting into all kinds of trouble as he navigates the messiness of boyhood. Sawyer is now so emblematic of a particular time and place in American history that it boosted the tourist industry of Hannibal, St. Louis - where the novel is set, and where Mark Twain himself grew up.

Söderhavet som litterärt landskap av Redaktör Ulf Johansson Dahre:Tänk att vara född som en så kallad vilde på en av Söderhavsöarna, att kunna njuta av den rena och obefläckade mänskliga existensen, J. W. GOETHE, 1828Söderhavet, Romantiskt, mytiskt, äventyrligt. Att tala och skriva om Söderhavet framkallar inte sällan längtansfulla suckar om blått hav, vajande palmer och ett lättjefullt liv. Det är inget fenomen som har med den moderna turistindustrin att göra. Föreställningen om Söderhavet som ett jordiskt paradis har en lång historia. I mitten av 1800-talet gav denna dröm upphov till det som idag är en egen litterär genre som kan kallas för Söderhavslitteratur. Det är en litteratur som kännetecknas av kraftfull romantik och exoticism, men emellanåt också av nykter realism. Den romantiska ådran har utan tvekan blivit en del av det västerländska kulturarvet även om de flesta västerlänningar inte varit i Söderhavet. För vem har inte längtat efter den där härliga vykortstranden eller läst fantastiska historier om livet och människorna på det som ibland kallats de lata latituderna? Samtidigt har många fascinerats eller förfärats över skildringarna över det primitiva livet eller över kannibalerna hunger.

From the author of countless esteemed classics such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, , Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court follows an American engineer named Hank Morgan. When Hank suffers from a severe head injury, he falls unconscious, only to wake up in the medieval Camelot years. Learning that he has somehow traveled through space and time to be present in 6th century England during the time of King Arthur’s rule, Hank is shocked and worried when he is discovered by guards. However, after the initial confusion and concern, Hank understands the potential of his situation, and decides to use his future knowledge for the good of the people now around him. Of course, the subjects of King Arthur’s kingdom were skeptical of him, and consequently, soon after Hank arrived his execution was scheduled. However, because of Hank’s knowledge, he is able to trick the people, including the king himself, into thinking that he has special powers. After using a solar eclipse to “prove” his ability, Hank is elected into a position of power, using his new authority to modernize and Americanize the medieval people. Accepting the kingdom as his new home, Hank build relationships and feels that he is making an immense difference in the lives of King Arthur and his subjects. But when the Catholic church grows uneasy about Hank’s new influence and ideas, Hank finds himself in even more danger than he was in when he was scheduled for death row.

Autobiography of Mark Twain (1907) is a collection of autobiographical writings by American humorist Mark Twain. Dictated toward the end of his life, the Autobiography of Mark Twain is a series of brief reflections on 74 years of fame, hard work, and adventure by an icon of American literature. Originally serialized in the North American Review, the United States’ oldest literary magazine, the Autobiography of Mark Twain has gone through countless editions in the century after Twain’s death, and is considered a masterpiece of literary nonfiction. “I intend that this autobiography shall become a model for all future autobiographies when it is published […] because of its form and method—a form and method whereby the past and the present are constantly brought face to face, resulting in contrasts which newly fire up the interest all along, like contact of flint with steel.” Focusing on the small events, unremarkable encounters, and marginalia which make a life both common and particular, Mark Twain envisions a model of autobiography capable of dispelling the myth of the writer as a man of fortune and mysterious talent. Capturing episodes from his youth and the early stages of his writing career, reflecting on the importance of his wife Olivia and daughter Susy, and describing the influence of labor on his philosophy of life, Twain invites his reader to recognize him not just as Samuel Clemens, his birth name, but as a man who lived and worked and triumphed and suffered alongside others, as a man whose success was a testament to the power of community. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mark Twain’s Autobiography of Mark Twain is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
