---------

Twain starts by having Soldier Boy (the horse) speaking. I am Buffalo Bill's horse. From that you would expect a story of rough and ready Army Scout type of adventures told from the horse's 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 Horse's Tale is not always narrated from the horse's 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.

Notă biografică

Mark Twain, beloved author, entrepreneur, and speaker, viewed Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc as the pinnacle of his writing career. In fact, he said of this book, the final full-length novel he wrote: "I like Joan of Arc best of all my books; and it is the best; I know it perfectly well."Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), which he adopted from his time as a riverboat pilot along the Mississippi River. He was wildly successful over the course of his writing career, even starting his own publishing company for a short while as one of his many entrepreneurial endeavors. He was also close personal friends with Nikola Tesla and invented "sticky paste" in Tesla's lab, a dry film on paper that became sticky when moistened.Oft-irreverent Twain had a deep reverence for St. Joan of Arc, as evidenced within the pages of this book: "It took six thousand years to produce her; her like will not be seen in the earth again in fifty thousand." Perhaps one of St. Joan of Arc's enduring miracles was that she was able to melt the heart of this witty, prickly, and most critical of authors.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
At the turn of the twentieth century Minnie Maddern Fiske, a New York actress, socialite, and animal rights activist, wrote to Mark Twain with an unusual request: for Twain to write about the evils of bullfighting equal to that of his anti-vivisectionist story A Dog’s Tale. Twain responded with A Horse’s Tale, a comic animal tale that doubled as a frontier adventure and political diatribe. This edition includes Twain’s original story, an introduction, annotations, and archival material related to Twain, Cody, and Fiske.
