"This is a rich, affirmative study of Samuel Clemens, fully demonstrating his rightful place in world literature. Maxwell Geismar shows Clemens to be not merely an anecdotal humorist but a revolutionary spirit - a social and moral voice of humanity whose humor makes his message more effective. The various levels of his art in all its range. depth, and variety are presented - Twain's talent 'seems as fresh and sharp and enchanting today as when the ink first flowed'." -- from the back cover.
