‎Roughing It. By Mark Twain - First American Edition, first issue‎

‎ 1872 1872. Fully Illustrated by Eminent Artists. (Issued by Subscription Only...) Hartford, Conn.: American Publishing Company [etc.], 1872. 1 page undated ads. Original black cloth decorated in gilt. First American Edition, first issue, of this very early Twain title -- his fourth major book. In July 1861, as the Civil War was getting underway, Twain headed out west as private secretary to his brother Orion, who had just been appointed Secretary of Nevada Territory; Twain's "account of the continental crossing with Orion is a full-throated celebration of a golden era, of travel, youth, adventure, and America's last frontier" [Kaplan]..~The first issue is identifiable by the proper printing of lines 20-21 on p. 242.; also this copy does have ads on p. [592], which may be a further first-issue point. This is a near-fine copy (only a trace of wear at some edges, slight cracking of the front endpaper); as usual the binding's "gilt" (if actual gilt it is) has oxidized to a copper color. Blanck 3337 (indicating that the British editions may have been issued a few days earlier); McBride p. 18.~In our experience, it is quite difficult to find in decent shape copies of the first three of Twain's books that were issued in this hefty, oversized format (THE INNOCENTS ABROAD in 1869, this title in 1872, and THE GILDED AGE in 1873); it is not that hard to find the fourth and last (A TRAMP ABROAD in 1879).‎

(BAL 3337; McBride p. 18; Wright II 554; Johnson p. 215)BAL distinguishes between the first and second states by the presence of two words on page 242 (first state) or their absence (second state). But it isn't that simple. Copies are found with just one word present (or one word absent, if you are a pessimist.) And similar damage to the plates has been noted on the following pages: xi.1 (M in My is perfect) as in this copy; 19.1 (y is perfect) as in this copy; and 123.6 up (death! which was corrected from death.) as this copy. All of these texts are damaged at some point during the printings(s), and all, including the one on page 242, are found in endless random combinations. At some point, two words were altered: at page 156.2 up "thirteenth" was corrected to "sixteenth" - this copy has the uncorrected "thirteenth" -and on page 330.16 up "Eastern" was corrected to "eastern" - this copy has the uncorrected listing. These changes could distinguish between two printings, but may only distinguish between two later printings. The states of the plates can be guessed at, but if multiple plates were used or mixing of sheets took place (as is clear from surviving copies) they should be viewed with caution.Traduction automatique:Publié Hartford : American Publishing Company, 1872, première édition avec tous les premiers points d'état. - annonce pleine page à la p. 592.

‎ Lettre autographe signée de Mark Twain au sujet du "Edison autrichien" ‎

‎ 1 billet découpé dans une page de carnet de notes quadrillé (11,5 x 10,5 cm). Vienne, 12 ou 13 juin 1898. ‎

‎[Vienne] [1898] 1 billet 11,5 x 10,5 cm Belle fraîcheur LETTRE AUTOGRAPHE SIGNÉE. Mark Twain, l'auteur de Tom Sawyer de Hucleberry Finn, de son vrai nom Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), est à Vienne durant l'été 1898. Il y rencontre le Edison autrichien (né polonais), un certain Jan Szczepanik (1872-1926), inventeur - ancien instituteur - à qui l'on doit l'invention du télectroscope, instrument censé permettre la transmission d'images à distance grâce à l'électricité.Mark Twain compile de rapides éléments biographiques dans un article non dénué d'humour qu'il donne au Century Magazine "The Austrian Edison keeping school again".C'est que la situation prête effectivement à rire. Szczepanik, alors jeune instituteur en Moravie rongeant son frein de ne pouvoir donner vie à ses idées, fut limogé du fait de ses fréquents voyages à Vienne effectués sur ses jours de travail. Et la perte de son statut d'enseignant lui causera de curieuses tracasseries, comme le remarque Twain dans sa lettre :"Yesterday I wrote a page about Szczepanik's bi-monthly resumption of his school duties to satisfy the requirements of war & sent it to the Century Magazine".De nouveau civil sans privilège d'exemption, il est rattrapé par la loi et l'obligation d'effectuer son temps dans l'armée, 3 ans à brasser de l'air à la baïonnette en temps de paix, alors qu'il pourrait être en train de conduire l'humanité vers de nouveaux cieux technologiques. Aussi, un officiel trouva la parade et Szczepanik vit ses obligations militaires réduites à ce que Twain nous en dit dans son article : "He must go back to his village every two months, and teach his school half a day?from early in the morning until noon; and, to the best of my understanding of the published terms, he must keep this up the rest of his life! I hope so, just for the romantic poeticalness of it".Drôle, n'est-ce pas ? C'est ainsi que Twain le perçoit en tous cas dans la conclusion de sa lettre :"The Austrian War Department has one well developed quality, anyway - humor. Sincerely yours, SL Clemens"Une superbe lettre pleine d'humour de l'auteur de Tom Sawyer et de Huckleberry Finn ‎

‎À la dure.‎

‎ Le passionnant texte autobiographique de Twain ! Paris, Éditions de la Revue Blanche, 1902. 1 vol. (120 x 185 mm) de 375 p. Broché. Édition originale de la traduction française par Henri Motheré. Justification «au visage». ‎

‎Première apparition en français de ce texte précoce de Mark Twain, publié à l'origine sous le titre Roughing It en 1872. Une satire mordante des illusions américaines qui retrace les pérégrinations de Clemens dans le Nevada et la Californie. Après une période de formation de pilote de bateau sur le Mississipi (d'où il tire son pseudonyme : le capitaine criait « Mark Twain ! » - « marque deux brasses » - pour indiquer un signal de profondeur suffisante afin d'accoster), il rejoint l'Ouest en accompagnant son frère, nommé secrétaire d'État du Nevada. Ce déplacement marque un basculement et la découverte d'un monde nouveau, en plein ébullition. A la dure raconte ses tentatives dans les mines d'or et d'argent, ses errances administratives dans un État encore embryonnaire, installé provisoirement dans des hôtels-saloons, ses échecs financiers, ses emplois improvisés, ses voyages jusqu'en Utah et toutes sortes d'aventures burlesques jusqu'à l'arrivée sur la côte pacifique, qui formeront les sources mêmes des Aventures de Tom Sawyer et celles d'Huckleberry Finn, toutes deux traduites dès 1886. Un complément indispensable de ses deux oeuvres phares. Bel exemplaire, rare ainsi. ‎
