Fashioned from the same experiences that would inspire the masterpiece
Huckleberry Finn, Life on the Mississippi is Mark Twain's most brilliant and
most personal nonfiction work. It is at once an affectionate evocation of the
vital river life in the steamboat era and a melancholy reminiscence of its
passing after the Civil War, a priceless collection of humorous anecdotes and
folktales, and a unique glimpse into Twain's life before he began to write.
Written in a prose style that has been hailed as among the greatest in English
literature, Life on the Mississippi established Twain as not only the most
popular humorist of his time but also America's most profound chronicler of the
human comedy.
