Aggiungi al carrello8vo (140 x 224 mm). 3 ff., written in pencil on one side only, on cream-coloured Keystone Linen pad paper. Stored in a brown full morocco presentation portfolio with a reproduction portrait photograph of Mark Twain facing the MS leaves, individually inserted in cellophane sleeves bound at the left edge. Three leaves from Clemens…'s manuscript notes for a never-performed stage version of "Tom Sawyer" completed in early 1884, featuring sketches for the dramatic scene in which Tom, Huck and Becky encounter Injun Joe in the cave. The notes read, in part: "Enter Tom & Huck. Find bag. 'No use now - got to starve.' Tom says 'No.' Examine - money all there. Discover girls asleep. Wake them. Talk. We'll save you. Gives them his crust & some bats [.] Devilish face of Joe peeks out - will hive those boys - steals behind boys. Girls see him & scream. Boys jump up & stand paralyzed. Then they jump for the rock & the dodging begins for life & death, the girls looking over. (Maybe Tom trips him.) 'Now, Huck.' They fly - Joe pursues, the girls scream [.]". - As early as 1875, Clemens had asked his friend William Dean Howells to dramatize the then still-unpublished "Adventures of Tom Sawyer". Howells refused, but Clemens pressed ahead, composed a synopsis of his own to secure copyright and subsequently wrote at least some of the play. While these plans ultimately fell through, in 1883 the author once more attempted to translate his book into a stage success. This time, he managed to complete a dramatic version, and the play was duly copyrighted on 1 February 1884. Although Clemens "was so pleased with this piece of work that even before he had finished it he was pondering on the cast which might properly perform it and trying to dictate terms", the great theatre manager Augustin Daly did not take long to reject the chance to stage "Tom Sawyer", and after this "one hears no more about the author's attempting to dramatize his novel": clearly, Clemens reluctantly came to the conclusion that "his novel just could not be dramatized" (Blair, pp. 250-252). - These are three out of a total of 26 pages of working notes for the play, constituting the last three of a ten-page group termed "C" by their editor, Walter Blair. At the time of Blair's editorial work, the notes were dispersed among several libraries: all but one of this ten-page group (C1-3 and C5-10) were then among the Mark Twain Papers at Bancroft Library, UCA, Berkeley (while C4 rests in Yale University Library). The three pages at hand form a sub-unit that provides a later plan for Act IV, in which Tom and Becky, lost in the cave, encounter Injun Joe. - First page slightly browned along the edges and horizontal fold; folds and paper very lightly frayed. A fine survival of American literature in the author's own hand. - Published in: Mark Twain / Walter Blair (ed.), Hannibal, Huck, and Tom (Berkeley, UCA Press, 1969), pp. 393-395 (fols. C8-C10).

Aggiungi al carrello4to. 1 p. Printed address. Age toned, folds. With envelope. To Mr. Scoville from the New York Telephone Co.: Can't we have a New York Telephone Directory? Nearly all of our telephoning kup here is with New York, and it makeds a lot of troubles and delay every time, to be obliged to have addresses and telephone numbers looked up…in New York before we can transact business. Wouldn't it be for your interest as well as ours to save time and labor, and wouldn't it encourage New York business to faciliatate matters at this end? Perhaps this seems a good deal of talk, just for a telephone book, but the fact is we need it, and are willing to do almost anything to get it, even to paying for it. Won't you send the book along -- two books, if possible -- and let us know the extent of the damages? []".

Aggiungi al carrelloOblong 8vo. 1 p. Draft for a Viennese lecture programme: "The Lucerne Girl - 18 minutes / The Mexican Plug - 10 [minutes] / Encounter with an Interviewer - 12 [minutes] / [Altogether:] 40 minutes". - From October 1898 until May 1899 the Clemens family lived in Vienna, where his the writer's daughters Clara and Jean received pian…o lessons from Theodor Leschetitzky. After eight months at the Hotel Métropole they moved to nearby Kaltenleutgeben in May 1898, where his wife Olivia and Jean took a cold-water cure at the balneological sanitarium of Wilhelm Winternitz. Clemens himself attended the marksmen's parade (26 June 1898) and the funeral procession of Empress Elisabeth (17 September 1898) in Vienna, lodging at Hotel Krantz (later the Ambassador). This is where the unidentified collector must have approached the great humorist for a scrap of paper in his hand, at the foot of which is the annotation (in German): "From Marc Twain. 24 Feb. 99. Hotel Krantz".

Aggiungi al carrello3 pages. 8vo. On black-edged mourning paper. With envelope. To Miss Helen Ingleby "& the other friends", of Heacham Hall, Norfolk, describing how his family and friends would play the Meisterschaft to audiences of hundred friends (".not ten of whom knew the German tongue, but they always had an enjoyable time just the same, for…we played it with tremendous spirit. I think I appeared in only one scene. it was between papa & the German boarding-house Frau, & these parts were done in English, & were not written down, but made up as we went along as a convenience for us incapables, as I was not able to memorize a part."). 'IT IS A PLEASANTLY ASTONISHING THING TO BE GREETED WITH SALUTATIONS FROM THE BLOOD OF POCAHONTAS' Mark Twain writes to a descendant of John Rolfe and Pocahontas at Heacham Hall, Norfolk; this being the Rolfe family seat, which the princess and her son, Thomas Rolfe, visited in 1618, a year before her death; Twain adding that "it is a long time since anything less expected has happened to me. It makes me feel pretty recent, as to American origin". His three-act Meisterschaft (1888) was described as a 'Patent Universally-Applicable Automatically-Adjustable Language Drama. adjustable to any tongue, and performable in any tongue'.
