Mark Twain
(4,75 Sterne; 24 Bewertungen)
Spanning the time between 1872 and the year before he died, this collection of after-dinner speeches, random thoughts to "the press", etc. clearly documents, once again, the truly eclectic mind of Samuel Clemens. It also demonstrates how he dealt with adulation, compliments and notoriety...head on! This collection is a treasure-trove of Twain sayings, witticisms and pronouncements on a huge galaxy of issues and concerns in his life. (Summary by John Greenman) (12 hr 6 min)

Brilliantly read as usual by Mr Greenman, however was it really necessary to speak the chapter headings and footings for every single chapter, even though some of them be only a couple of minutes long, this rather spoilt the enjoyment of the listen.
John Greenman is Mark Twain!

John Greenman is Mark Twain! He sounds more like Mark Twain than Mark Twain did! There are no existing recordings of Twain's voice. The closest thing we have is a recording by a contemporary Mark Twain imitator, William Gillette.
humorous and well read

Mr. Greenman is far and away the best reader I have found on any audio book site.
Sounds like Twain to me.
