It's not really all that rare for a person to have insights on what makes this species tick and have those insights stand up to the harsh tests of history. What is rare, in my mind, is for those insights to remain vital, relevant, and funny a century later. I won't bore you with why I think this is. I'm not sure I could, anyway. There are scholars, far better equipped than I, to make this case, and I will leave that to them. My interest is to see Twain's writings available to the Web and to let you judge for yourself.

My Collection of Twain in HTML

My approach is to make separate pages of the chapters and subchapters to make these books more *browsable*. Those with browsers that keep track of followed links, such as Netscape, can simply refer to the Table of Contents to remind themselves where they left off. At the end of each chapter is a link to the next chapter, and a link to the book's table of contents.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson

Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses

This has long been a favorite of mine. I'd like to thank Barbara E. Walton for for taking the trouble of typing this gem, and for sending her e-text along to me. (She offered to tag it, but hell - I have to do something around here!)

What is Man and Other Essays

Alan Eliasen has also been converting this same book. The links to Switzerland, the Cradle of Liberty, As Concerns Interpreting the Deity, and Concerning Tobacco in the Table of Contents are links to his pages. He also has a version of the essay What is Man? as a single document. These and more can also be found at his Mark Twain Library
