The Works of Mark Twain: An Index of all Project Gutenberg Editions

Dive into a meticulously organized guide that opens the door to the full range of this celebrated author’s works. From the mischievous adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn to the sharp‑tongued essays, travelogues, and speeches that defined an era, the index points you straight to each title, complete with chapter breakdowns and illustration notes. Whether you’re looking for the humor of “The Prince and the Pauper” or the biting satire of “The American Claimant,” the layout makes navigation effortless, letting you jump into the story that catches your ear.

The first act of “The American Claimant” introduces the eccentric Colonel Sellers, a generous yet scheming art dealer, and the bewildering inheritance dispute that drags an English earl across the Atlantic. Through witty dialogue and a parade of colorful characters—ranging from a one‑armed thief to a bewildered Viscount—the narrative sets up a lively comedy of errors that showcases the author’s trademark blend of humor and social observation. Listeners will find themselves drawn into the quirky world of 19th‑century America, where identity, ambition, and a touch of chaos collide.
