A Novel

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014. Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch—Scout—struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her. Exploring how the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird are adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, Go Set a Watchman casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee’s enduring classic. Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own right.

Besides being one of the most treasured writers in American history, Mark Twain was also one of the most quotable. This comprehensive compendium collects over 500 of his best quips and remarks.



Born in Missouri under the name Samuel Langhorne Clemens, his pen name, Mark Twain, was river-boat slang for 12 feet of water. Clemens adopted the name Mark Twain after he established his voice as a journalist. Under Mark Twain he wrote the classic fiction satire novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn on the nature of slavery and racism at the time.



Mark Twain's social commentary was as friendly as it was poignant. This treasury contains his witticisms about the:
 * Enigmas of life
 * Importance of education
 * Delights (and annoyances) of travel
 * Absurdity of politics
 * Double standards of society
 * Joys of love
 * Ludicrousness of aging
 * And much more

Following a short biography and timeline of his life, the quotes include such wisdom as:



"When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people."--Mark Twain's Autobiography



"One of the striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives." --Pudd'nhead Wilson



"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up." --Mark Twain's Notebook



"It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them." --Mark Twain's Notebook



"What is human life? The first third a good time; the rest remembering about it." --More Maxims of Mark

 

Friendly and funny, deflating egos and lifting spirits, these quotes deserve a treasured spot in every personal library.
