Mark Twain: The Complete Interviews

Gelesen von John Greenman

(5 Sterne; 9 Bewertungen)

This collection of the 258 known, publicly-printed interviews of Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) was compiled by Gary Scharnhorst and published by the University of Alabama Press. The interviews are in the Public Domain, and our thanks go to Gary Scharnhorst and the University of Alabama for making them available for this Public Domain audio recording. They were compiled in the University of Alabama Press book entitled "Mark Twain: The Complete Interviews" and are arranged, chronologically, from Twain's first authenticated interview in 1871, to his last interview in 1910. Here's how Professor Scharnhorst has characterized the interviews:
Interviews 1-20 The Growth of Mark Twain's Early Reputation, 1871-1884
Interviews 21-39 The "Twins of Genius" Tour, 1884-1885
Interviews 40-59 The Best and Worst of Times, 1886-1895
Interviews 60-81 Across North America, 1895
Interviews 82-120 Across Australia, Asia, and Africa, 1895-1896
Interviews 121-151 "Ambassador at Large" and Man of Letters, 1897-1901
Interviews 152-170 Last Visit to Mississippi, 1902
Interviews 171-195 At Large, 1902-1906
Interviews 196-220 "Dean of Humorists," 1906-1907
Interviews 221-235 Visit to Oxford, 1907
Interviews 236-258 The Long Goodbye, 1907-1910
Extensive analysis (for instance how other publications interpreted identical interview sessions), notes, appendix and index are included in the printed work. - Summary by John Greenman (37 hr 51 min)

John Greenman continues his astonishing self-appointed task of recording every word ever written by Mr Samuel Longhorne Clemens (and, indeed, apparently all words written regarding him) in a lasting, phenomenonal tribute, which cannot be faulted. It as if Twain himself is reading his own works aloud, and I for one will never be able to read Twain again without hearing John Greenman's voice. This most recent recording represents an astonishing job of work, to collect every presscutting the great man ever had, ranging from a few hundred words into the thousands, is mind-boggling in breadth, scope and complexity, and I applaud everyone involved in the collation and recording of these disparate pieces. The content is wonderful, little snippets or sometimes slightly longer glimpses into Twain's personal trials and tribulations... More so than any of John Greenman's previous amazing Twain recordings, these pieces seem so very immediate, it's as close as we can get to being in the room with the great man himself.

Impressive

Thanks to all involved in this exhaustive compilation.
