Beschrijving

Bol Mark Twain's humorous account of his six years in Nevada, San Francisco, and the Sandwich Islands is a patchwork of personal anecdotes and tall tales, many of them told in the ''vigorous new vernacular'' of the West. Selling seventy five thousand copies within a year of its publication in 1872, Roughing It was greeted as a work of ''wild, preposterous invention and sublime exaggeration'' whose satiric humor made ''pretension and false dignity ridiculous.''
