Mark Twain, página 26 de 82

Sobre las biografías, habla el propio Twain a propósito de su proyecto de autobiografía: "llegado a este punto me asalta una duda: teniendo antepasados tan brillantes, ¿merece la pena contar una vida tan banal como la mía? Supongo que lo más razonable será no contar nada de mí, salvo que me cuelguen. Si muchos otros biógrafos hubieran hecho lo mismo: limitarse a hablar de sus antepasados y no escribir nada de sí mismos hasta que no les ocurriera algo relevante, el público lector habría salido ganando, ¿no cree?".

En 1867, los periódicos de Norteamérica se hacen eco del anuncio de la Excursión a Tierra Santa, Egipto, Crimen, Grecia y lugares de interés intermedios , para la que se proponen fletar un barco que partira del puerto de Nueva York. Se trata de uno de los primeros viajes organizados de la historia, del que forma parte el que luego seria padre de Tom Sawyer y Huckleberry Funn, decidido a plasmar su opinion en las cronicas que envia al diario Alta California.

It was in 1590winter. Austria was far away from the world, and asleep; it was still the Middle Ages in Austria, and promised to remain so forever. Some even set it away back centuries upon centuries and said that by the mental and spiritual clock it was still the Age of Belief in Austria. But they meant it as a compliment, not a slur, and it was so taken, and we were all proud of it. I remember it well, although I was only a boy; and I remember, too, the pleasure it gave me.
