The Author-Cat: Clemens's Life in Fiction
ISBN: 9780823227877 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) At the end of his long life, Samuel Clemens felt driven to write a truthful account of what he regarded as the flaws in his character and the errors of his ways. His attempt to tell the unvarnished truth about himself is preserved in nearly 250 autobiographical dictations. In order to encourage complete veracity, he decided from the outset that these would be published only posthumously. Nevertheless, Clemens's autobiography is singularly unrevealing. Forrest G. Robinson argues that, by contrast, it is in his fiction that Clemens most fully--if often inadvertently--reveals himself. He was, he...

In Bad Faith: The Dynamics of Deception in Mark Twain's America
ISBN: 9780674445284 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Something is not right in the world of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The unease is less evident to Tom, the manipulator, than to the socially marginal Huck. The trouble is most dramatically revealed when Huck, whose "sivilized" Christian conscience is developing, faces the choice between betraying his black friend Jim--which he believes is his moral duty--and letting him escape, as his heart tells him to do. "Bad faith" is Forrest Robinson's name for the dissonance between what we profess to believe, how we act, and how we interpret our own behavior. There is bad faith in the...
