Synopsis

Mark Twain's "Final (and Right) Plan" for his autobiography allowed him to speak freely, dictating his thoughts on whatever interested him at the moment. With the strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for 100 years, Twain was free to speak his "whole frank mind." This volume presents Twain's uncensored autobiography in its entirety, exactly as he left it, offering his authentic and unsuppressed voice, brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions.
