It completes the story begun there of Samuel Clemens's business affairs, especially insofar as they concern dealings with publishers; and it documents Clemens's progress from financial disaster, with the Paige typesetter and Webster \u0026amp; Company, to renewed prosperity under the steady, skillful hand of H. H. Rogers. But Clemens's correspondence with Rogers reveals more than a business relationship. It illuminates a friendship which Clemens came to value above all others, and it suggests a profound change in his patterns of living. He who during the Hartford years had been a devoted family man, content with a discrete circle of intimates, now became again (as he had been during the Nevada and California years) a man among sporting men, enjoying prizefights and professional billiard matches in public, and--in private--long days of poker, gruff jest, and good Scotch whisky aboard Rogers's magnificent yacht.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Twain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520014677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520014671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.04w x 2.10d","brand":"Mark Twain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064993788159,"sku":"9780520014671","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b8bafc9-e6c1-459c-b613-838aefb268be.jpg?v=1768672426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mark-twains-correspondence-with-henry-mark-twain-9780520014671","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
