註釋When Mark Twain's biographer visits the dying old man in Bermuda in April 1910, he receives a surprising gift: a new manuscript. Upon reading it, the biographer discovers a "novel" (with a hero named Sam Clemens) that contains a sexually frank and bittersweet romance, a violent plot by ruthless confederate conspirators to capture the huge U.S. Arsenal in St. Louis, and a thoughtful study of race relations. In addition to an exciting, historically based picture of the turbulent South on the verge of tragic conflict, Mark Twain's Civil War contains a fascinating, warts-and-all portrayal of one young Mississippi River pilot, deeply uncertain about his future, who will go on to become America's best-loved humorist.
