The Prince and the Pauper is a novel by Mark Twain first published in 1881   in Canada, before its 1882 publication in the United States.  Set in 1547, it tells the story of two   young boys who are identical in appearance: Tom Canty, a pauper who lives   with his abusive father in Offal Court off Pudding Lane in London, and Prince   Edward, son of King Henry VIII.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is an 1889 novel by Mark Twain,   originally published in book form in 1896. The novel is a satirical comedy   that looks at 6th-Century England and its medieval culture through the eyes   of Hank Morgan, a 19th-century resident of Hartford, Connecticut, who, after   a blow to the head, awakens to find himself inexplicably transported back in   time to early medieval England at the time of the legendary King Arthur.   
Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, published in 1896, is the remarkable   story of the saint's life as told by the fictional Sieur Louis de Conté,   Joan's page and secretary, in the form of a memoir written in the twilight of   life. The character has had the privilege of growing up with Joan of Arc,   accompanying her during the excitement and pageantry of her military   campaigns, and being present at each of her three trials. 
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pen name Mark   Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom   Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the   latter often called "the Great American Novel."

"Le privilège de la tombe. Son occupant possède un privilège que n'exerce aucune personne vivante : la liberté de parole. Non pas que l'homme vivant en soit dépourvu, mais dans la mesure où il le possède qu'à titre formel et qu'il estime avoir mieux à faire que de s'en servir, il ne paraît pas sérieux de considérer qu'il est réellement en sa possession. En tant que privilège actif, il peut être rangé à côté de celui de commettre un meurtre : nous pouvons l'exercer si nous acceptons d'en assumer les conséquences." (Mark Twain) Plus d'un siècle après sa disparition, Mark Twain (1835-1910) n'a rien perdu de sa vivacité et de sa tonicité. Lire ce satiriste hors pair constitue un exercice intellectuel salutaire.

The Complete Essays and Satires of Mark Twain

Quand j'étais enfant, mes camarades et moi n'avions, dans notre village de la rive ouest du Mississipi, qu'un rêve proprement inaltérable : être marinier sur un bateau à vapeur." Un rêve qui devient réalité pour le jeune Samuel Clemens lorsque Mr. Bixby, pilote chevronné, le prend sous son aile et lui confie : "Il n'existe qu'une manière de devenir pilote, c'est d'apprendre le fleuve tout entier par coeur. Tu dois le connaître comme ton alphabet."Un récit initiatique enchanteur et plein d'humour, par l'auteur des "Aventures de Tom Sawyer".Ce teste, constitué des chapitres IV à XI de "La vie sur le Mississipi", est extrait du volume Œuvres (Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, Editions Gallimard).

À quoi rêvent les garçons: Un apprenti pilote sur le Mississippi

Twain began his career writing light, humorous verse, but he became a chronicler of the vanities, hypocrisies, and murderous acts of mankind. At mid-career, he combined rich humor, sturdy narrative, and social criticism in Huckleberry Finn. He was a master of rendering colloquial speech and helped to create and popularize a distinctive American literature built on American themes and language. 

A complete bibliography of Twain's works is nearly impossible to compile because of the vast number of pieces he wrote (often in obscure newspapers) and his use of several different pen names. 

This book contains more than 30 of the most famous and significant works of Mark Twain.
