How I Was Elected Governor

Samuel Clemens did not intend to become a writer. However, life forced him to first move west and then to abandon the poorly paying trade of a miner and start writing stories for the local newspaper. Thus, Sam Clemens transformed... into Mark Twain — the most famous humorist in the United States. The writer traveled across the country with performances, and newspapers snatched up his new works eagerly; he wrote numerous humorous stories, and the best of them are collected in this edition. Mark Twain's stories are full of not only mischievous humor, absurd situations, and unprecedented events, but also of keen observations and a subtle understanding of human nature. From this book, you will learn whether it is worth pursuing journalism in Tennessee, agreeing to the position of editor of an agricultural newspaper without knowing the subject, running for the office of governor in New York, or betting on jumping frogs in Calaveras, and much, much more.
