Roughing It follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the Wild West during the years 1861–1867. After a brief stint as a Confederate cavalry militiaman, he joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west. Twain consulted his brother's diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his active imagination for many stories in the novel.Roughing It illustrates many of Twain's early adventures, including a visit to Salt Lake City, gold and silver prospecting, real-estate speculation, and his beginnings as a writer.In this memoir, readers can see examples of Twain's rough-hewn humor, which would become a staple of his writing in his later books, such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.

Mark Twain's "The Jumping Frog : In English, then in French, then clawed back into the civilized language once more by patient unremunerated toil" (1865), also known as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog."Containing the original story (in english), a french translation which was published in la Revue des Deux Mondes and which Twain finds to be a travesty of the original text, and Twain's re-translation of the french back into english, word for word (this is where things degenerate). A masterpiece of babelfishien nonsense dating from well before babelfish was even a gleam in the binary code of its creator (1903). Best appreciated if you can read both French and English, but even if you skip the french version it's truly brilliant. If you have ever translated random text using babelfish just because it's funny, don't miss this book.As good old Samuel Clemens himself put it in his foreword "I cannot speak the French language, but I can translate very well, though not fast, I being self-educated."

Conhecida como "A Cidade Incorruptível", Hadleyburg gozava o prestígio de ser lar dos cidadãos mais honestos do país. Até que, em uma noite, um estranho deixa um saco abarrotado de ouro à porta de uma casa junto a uma misteriosa carta de agradecimento a um morador da cidade que ele não soube nomear. Segunda a carta, resta-lhe apenas a memória de uma frase trocada na ocasião em que o gentil cidadão ajudara o autor – e ele conta com a honestidade dos habitantes de Hadleyburg para identificar seu benfeitor e confiar-lhe o tesouro.Um saco de ouro à procura do seu dono anônimo – até que ponto os cidadãos de Hadleyburg serão incorruptíveis diante de uma prova tão grande de sua famosa honestidade?* * *Carregada de humor e acidez, a novela de Mark Twain "O Homem que Corrompeu Hadleyburg" consiste em um experimento social sobre a hipocrisia. Como crítica veemente aos costumes da sociedade norte-americana do seu tempo, tem a propriedade de permanecer atual e universal como os bons clássicos da literatura.
