Autobiography of Mark Twain

About “Autobiography of Mark Twain”

The Autobiography of Mark Twain is a written collection of reminiscences, mostly dictated in the final years of the author's life. It includes anecdotes and reflections rather than a traditional autobiography. Twain did not prepare the material for publication during his lifetime. Although he expressed a desire for the work to remain unpublished for a century, parts of it were serialized during his lifetime. Various versions were also published in the 20th century. A comprehensive three-volume edition, compiled and edited by the Mark Twain Project, was finally released in 2010. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
