Description: After laughing their way through his classic and beloved depictions of 19th-century American life, few readers would suspect that Mark Twain's last years were anything but happy and joyful. They would be wrong. Contrary to the myth perpetrated by his literary executors Twain ended his life as a frustrated writer plagued by paranoia. He suffered personal tragedies, got involved in questionable business ventures, and was a demanding and controlling father and husband. As God's Fool demonstrates, the difficult circumstances of Twain's personal life make his humorous output all the more surprising and admirable. ----------------- Excellent reading copy currently in very good condition, but the glue in the binding is dried out and the pages may start loosening soon. Neat bookplate from previous owner inside front cover; this could easily be covered with a new bookplate.
