Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luck is a classic humorous short story written by Mark Twain and first published in 1891. It's about a hero who is really a fool, and why he owes it all to luck. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel." Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his humorous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," was published, based on a story he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, where he had spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into classic Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty. Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he invested in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its complexity and imprecision. In the wake of these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers eventually overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so. Twain was born shortly after a visit by Halley's Comet, and he predicted that he would "go out with it," too. He died the day after the comet returned. He was lauded as the "greatest American humorist of his age," and William Faulkner called Twain "the father of American literature." Twain began his career writing light, humorous verse, but evolved into a chronicler of the vanities, hypocrisies and murderous acts of mankind. At mid-career, with Huckleberry Finn, he combined rich humor, sturdy narrative and social criticism. Twain was a master at rendering colloquial speech and helped to create and popularize a distinctive American literature built on American themes and language. Many of Twain's works have been suppressed at times for various reasons. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been repeatedly restricted in American high schools, not least for its frequent use of the word "nigger," which was in common usage in the pre-Civil War period in which the novel was set.

Book excerpt: Miss Watson she kept pecking at me, and it got tiresome andlonesome. By and by they fetched the niggers in and had prayers,and then everybody was off to bed. I went up to my room with a pieceof candle, and put it on the table. Then I set down in a chair by thewindow and tried to think of something cheerful, but it warn't no use. Ifelt so lonesome I most wished I was dead. The stars were shining,and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard anowl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and awhippowill and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die;and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn'tmake out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me.Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghostmakes when it wants to tell about something that's on its mind andcan't make itself understood, and so can't rest easy in its grave, andhas to go about that way every night grieving. I got so down-heartedand scared I did wish I had some company. Pretty soon a spider wentcrawling up my shoulder, and I flipped it off and it lit in the candle; andbefore I could budge it was all shriveled up. I didn't need anybody totell me that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch me some badluck, so I was scared and most shook the clothes off of me. I got upand turned around in my tracks three times and crossed my breastevery time; and then I tied up a little lock of my hair with a thread tokeep witches away. But I hadn't no confidence. You do that whenyou've lost a horseshoe that you've found, instead of nailing it up overthe door, but I hadn't ever heard anybody say it was any way to keepoff bad luck when you'd killed a spider.I set down again, a-shaking all over, and got out my pipe for asmoke; for the house was all as still as death now, and so the widowwouldn't know. Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in thetown go boom--boom--boom--twelve licks; and all still again--stiller than ever. Pretty soon I heard a twig snap down in the dark amongstthe trees--something was a stirring. I set still and listened. Directly Icould just barely hear a "me-yow! me-yow!" down there. That wasgood! Says I, "me-yow! me-yow!" as soft as I could, and then I put outthe light and scrambled out of the window on to the shed. Then Islipped down to the ground and crawled in among the trees, and, sureenough, there was Tom Sawyer waiting for me. CHAPTER II.WE went tiptoeing along a path amongst the trees back towards theend of the widow's garden, stooping down so as the brancheswouldn't scrape our heads. When we was passing by the kitchen I fellover a root and made a noise. We scrouched down and laid still.Miss Watson's big nigger, named Jim, was setting in the kitchen door;we could see him pretty clear, because there was a light behind him.He got up and stretched his neck out about a minute, listening. Thenhe says:"Who dah?"He listened some more; then he come tiptoeing down and stoodright between us; we could a touched him, nearly. Well, likely it wasminutes and minutes that there warn't a sound, and we all there soclose together. There was a place on my ankle that got to itching, butI dasn't scratch it; and then my ear begun to itch; and next my back,right between my shoulders. Seemed like I'd die if I couldn't scratch.Well, I've noticed that thing plenty times since. If you are with thequality, or at a funeral, or trying to go to sleep when you ain't sleepy--if you are anywheres where it won't do for you to scratch, why you willitch all over in upwards of a thousand places. Pretty soon Jim says:"Say, who is you? Whar is you? Dog my cats ef I didn' hear sumf'n.Well, I know what I's gwyne to do: I's gwyne to set down here andlisten tell I hears it agin."So he set down on the ground betwixt me and Tom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heretical Fictions is the first full-length study to assess the importance of Twain’s heretical Calvinism as the foundation of his major works, bringing to light important thematic ties that connect the author’s early work to his high period and from there to his late work. Berkove and Csicsila set forth the main elements of Twain’s “countertheological” interpretation of Calvinism and analyze in detail the way it shapes five of his major books—Roughing It, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger—as well as some of his major short stories. The result is a ground-breaking and unconventional portrait of a seminal figure in American letters.
