Writings Search Thanksgiving Thoughts from Mark Twain By Jim Zwick Mark Twain picture T hanksgiving was a neighborhood holiday for the Clemens family when they lived in the Nook Farm community in Hartford. Katy Leary, who served as the family's maid for several decades, recalled, Thanksgiving was almost as wonderful as Christmas . Mrs. Clemens always had all the people to a great dinner that day people that wasn't very well off, poor people not her own friends specially. Then in the evening the Warners would have a great dinner (and the Twichells used to go over to the Warners for that). Charles Dudley Warner, coauthor of The Gilded Age , was one of Twain's neighbors at Nook Farm. Rev. Joseph H. Twichell was Twain's longtime friend and pastor. After the Warners' dinner, the Twichell family would visit Twain's home before retiring for the night. The adults would play charades while the children emptied "about ten dishes of candy" set out for the holiday. Katy Leary's and several other accounts of Clemens family holidays can be found in Edith Colgate Salsbury, ed.

This unique and varied program at historic Cooper Union brings together the musical pieces that meant the most to him: the songs and tunes that Mark Twain himself loved best (and a few that he loathed) during a lifetime that took him from the Mississippi Valley and the western frontier in the mid-19th century to New York, New England, and the capitals of Europe in the glittering era that he himself christened "The Gilded Age."

A TRAMP IN THE THRONG Dr. Van Dyke Pays His Tribute and the Rev. Joseph Twichell Chokes Down His Tears to Pray. A short pause was made in the journey of Samuel Langhorne Clemens to his final resting place in Elmira yesterday, and he was brought to the Brick Church, at Fifth Avenue and Thirty-Seventy Street, that those who knew him might not be deprived of opportunity to see his face for the last time. A reading from the Scripture, a short address, and a prayer constituted the simple service. Then, for an hour and a half, a stream of people from all walks of life passed in front of the bier. The same spirit which had led to the unbarring of Stormfield to breezes and sunshine on the day after the death pervaded the church yesterday. There was no gloom; only the peace that Mark Twain would have desired. The people who passed by the coffin saw not so much the man Samuel L. Clemens, a philosopher through the necessity for bearing misfortune, as Mark Twain, who was everything from Huckleberry Finn and Colonel Mulberry Sellers. Mr. and Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the latter heavily veiled, sat in the front pew on the left side of the church. With them were Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Loomis and William Dean Howells. Behind these sat the Albert Bigelow Paines and Jarvis Langdon. In another pew were the widow and children of Samuel Moffett, a favorite nephew of Mr. Clemens, who died in California several years ago.

52. Mark Twain And Technology An exploration of the technology twain refers to in his novel, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. site was constructed as part of a Summer Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. http://fayette.k12.in.us/~cbeard/cy/index.html

This image of "Sir Boss" from the original edition of Connecticut Yankee is used with the kind permission of the University of Virginia. If Mark Twain were alive today, he'd probably be publishing interactive novels on the Web and charging us a fee to read them. Like many people of his time, Twain embraced new technological developments and saw them as a measure of human potential. He wrote the first novel in America to be written on a typewriter Tom Sawyer One of the first telephones in Hartford, Connecticut, connected the Clemens household with the central switchboard. Twain also invested (and lost) thousands of dollars in the Paige Typesetting machine, which was supplanted by the Linotype just as videotape is being replaced by DVD. Given his interest, it is no surprise to find in his novels so many references to contemporary technology. Twain was also keenly aware, however, of the limitations of technology. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court shows technology improving communication, productivity, and personal hygiene. But it is unable to conquer what Twain considered the true problem: a society in which people do not think for themselves. Machines can be wonderful tools, Twain suggests, but they are only tools. The finest technology in all the realm does not excuse us from exercising our own judgment, a theme Twain would doubtless return to were he publishing today. As we enter a new millennium, we take for granted much of what was new and marvelous to the people of Twain's era. Understanding the technological developments of Twain's lifetime (1835 - 1910) may provide greater appreciation of this novel, one of the first science fiction novels written in America.

Writings Search Beyond Book Banning: Censorship of Mark Twain's Political Writings By Jim Zwick Mark Twain's Banned Books Online The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Published in 1876, Mark Twain's first novel about childhood on the Mississippi has been banned many times on charges that it provides poor role models for young people. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn First banned immediately after its publication in 1885 because of its use of dialect in the narration from an uneducated child's point of view, it is now frequently challenged because its depiction of race relations in the pre-Civil War south reveals the continuing racism in American society. Eve's Diary The images of Eve dressed "Garden of Eden style" caused the 1906 illustrated edition to be banned from a library in Massachusetts. M ark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remains near the top of the American Library Association's list of the 100 most frequently challenged books in the United States. Huckleberry Finn and most other books in their list have been challenged in the name of protecting children from various ideas and influences, from sexuality to wizardry. Since 1999, Harry Potter, not Huck Finn, has topped the ALA's annual list of the most frequently challenged books. Looking only at the ALA's lists can be misleading. Although books read or studied by children and young adults dominate those lists, the history of Mark Twain's writings shows that censorship is not just about children.

Mark Twain Mark Twain Edited by Jim Zwick Associations Banned Books Bibliography ... Writings Search Mark Twain on Book Banning: Huckleberry Finn to Eve's Diary F rom 1885 to the present, Mark Twain's books have sparked controversies that led to their removal from public libraries and school reading lists. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is clearly his most controversial work today, but The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Eve's Diary were also banned from libraries during Mark Twain's lifetime. Huckleberry Finn was banned from the public library in Concord, Massachusetts, after its directors decided that it was "more suited to the slums that to intelligent, respectable people." Their decision was as much a reaction to Twain's use of dialect in the narration as anything that occurred within the book, but for decades, even after Twain's novels gained widespread critical acclaim, some librarians continued to view Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer as poor role models for young people. Eve's Diary was banned in 1906 when librarians at the public library in Charlton, Massachusetts, objected to its full-page illustrations of Eve dressed "Garden of Eden style." With one notable exception, Twain seems to have welcomed the controversy generated by the banning of his books. Just three years before

Mark Twain Mark Twain Edited by Jim Zwick Associations Banned Books Bibliography ... Writings Search Christmas with Mark Twain By Jim Zwick Thomas Nast Santa Claus Illustration T he Christmas season was an extraordinary time in the Clemens household. When they lived in the Nook Farm community in Hartford, Olivia Clemens, Mark Twain's wife, would begin Christmas preparations weeks before the holiday. She bought presents for the extended family, the servants, neighbors and other friends, and prepared baskets of food and gifts for poor families around the city. These baskets and other presents filled the house as the holiday approached. Christmas wreaths and garlands were hung, and a large Christmas tree was brought into the house and decorated. The Full Rush of the Holidays It was also a time filled with many social visits with neighbors and friends. "We are in the full rush of the holidays now," Mark Twain wrote to his friend William Dean Howells on December 23, 1889, "and an awful rush it is, too." All alone I managed to inflict agonies on Mrs. Clemens, whereas I was expecting nothing but praises. I made a party call the day after the party and called the lady down from breakfast to receive it. I then left there and called on a new bride, who received me in her dressing-gown; and as things went pretty well, I stayed to luncheon. The error here was, that the appointed reception-hour was 3 in the afternoon, and not at the bride's house but at her aunt's in another part of the town. However, as I meant well, none of these disasters distressed me.

60. Mark Twain - Mark Twain Translation - Huck Translation - Translation Of Huck Fin Estudi de la traducci³ al catal  de The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, de mark twain. Incideix en la dificultat de traduir les varietats ling¼­stiques. http://www.fut.es/~fromeu/hucktrans.htm

Fernando Romeu The Translation of American Varieties in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Abstract The problem of the translation of American varieties in Huckleberry Finn has been tackled in different ways. Nobody has succeeded in portraying the seven different varieties that can be found in the original text. The aim of this assignment is to present several different ways of tackling the problem, to identify their shortcomings and to present possible solutions. Three translations of Huckleberry Finn (into Spanish and into Catalan) are compared by commenting on how they translate the same passage of the source text. The results show that there is not a completely satisfactory way of translating the American varieties in Huckleberry Finn. They also show that the difficulty does not only lie on linguistic issues, but also on contextual and cultural ones. NOTA: 1.-Introduction Translating a novel is always a difficult and risky enterprise, but sometimes it can be more difficult than usual. One of the difficulties is the translation of varieties. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a good example of this problem. Since it has been - and still is - a widely read book, there are many translations of it. These translations tackle the problem of varieties differently. I think this is interesting, because it may exemplify different ways of understanding literary translation.
