A Horse's Tale by Mark Twain (English) Paperback Book

Description: A Horse's Tale by Mark Twain Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- Twain starts by having Soldier Boy (the horse) speaking. I am Buffalo Bills horse. From that you would expect a story of rough and ready Army Scout type of adventures told from the horses perspective. This is not what happens, though. A very moving tale of a girl and a horse. One of my favorite Mark Twain stories. A Horses Tale is not always narrated from the horses point of view and other parts of the book take the form of letters (from human characters). From Mark Twain, this book is of course both funny and historical. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), [1] better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Among his writings are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), [2] the latter often called "The Great American Novel". Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which later provided the setting for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. After an apprenticeship with a printer, Twain worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. Twain moved to San Francisco in 1864, still as a journalist, and met writers such as Bret Harte and Artemus Ward. The young poet Ina Coolbrith may have romanced him. Twain was fascinated with science and scientific inquiry. He developed a close and lasting friendship with Nikola Tesla, and the two spent much time together in Teslas laboratory. Twain patented three inventions, including an "Improvement in Adjustable and Detachable Straps for Garments" (to replace suspenders) and a history trivia game.[35][36] Most commercially successful was a self-pasting scrapbook; a dried adhesive on the pages needed only to be moistened before use.[35] Over 25,000 were sold.[ Twains novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court (1889) features a time traveler from the contemporary US, using his knowledge of science to introduce modern technology to Arthurian England. This type of storyline would later become a common feature of a science fiction subgenre, alternate history. In 1909, Thomas Edison visited Twain at his home in Redding, Connecticut and filmed him. Part of the footage was used in The Prince and the Pauper (1909), a two-reel short film. It is said to have been the only known existing film footage of Twain.
