ABOUT THE BOOK: In 1861, young Mark Twain found himself adrift as a newcomer in the Wild West, working as a civil servant, silver prospector, mill worker, and finally a reporter and traveling lecturer. Roughing It is the hilarious record of those early years traveling from Nevada to California to Hawaii, as Twain tried his luck at anything and everything—and usually failed. Twain’s encounters with tarantulas and donkeys, vigilantes and volcanoes, even Brigham Young, the Mormon leader, come to life with his inimitable mixture of reporting, social satire, and rollicking tall tales. CONDITION: BOOK is in AMAZING condition for its age (51 YEARS OLD) with only the slightest fades to the spine. Slipcase shows very minor wear for its age (SEE PICS FOR BETTER DETAILS). THERE ARE NO ATTACHED BOOKPLATES, NO WRITING FROM PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP, ETC. It is a GORGEOUS edition! DescriptionDescriptionFrankenstein tells the story of gifted scientist Victor Frankenstein who succeeds in giving life to a being of his own creation. However, this is not the perfect specimen he imagines that it will be, but rather a hideous creature who is rejected by Victor and mankind in general.
