Mark Twain’s Speeches

Description

Mark Twain is seen as one of the greatest authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries, but not many are aware of the fact that, aside from the many novels and stories he wrote, he is also responsible for a significant number of exceptionally well-written speeches. Mark Twain’s Speeches are presented as a collection of his public speaking portfolio, featuring bold, highly intelligent, as well as humorous examples of what a great author can really accomplish, when he sets his mind to impressing his peers.

Twain’s speech collection includes a number of well-planned, sometimes sharp and short, other times long and insightful presentation on a few well-chosen topics. Generally, he chose bold subjects based on their importance, the vent where the speech was to be presented at and the audience the delivery was intended for, often making his eliveries seemingly counter-intuitive at first, only to then impress his audience through the remarkably witty comebacks and shockingly accurate and empathetic conclusions.

In the book, you’ll find him covering topics such as education, book, reading and literature, as well as anything from business and American patriotism to sports, poetry, the weather and plagiarism.

The diverse range of subjects associated to Mark Twain’s speeches shows just how far his impressive intelligence and inquisitive nature went. During his lifetime, Twain delved into a variety of activities, from being a printer’s apprentice when he was young,to learning to navigate steamboats on the Mississippi and later even developing an interest for inventions, the paranormal and silver mining.

If anyone was able to give a good speech in Twain’s era, it was Mark Twain himself. You’ll find the speech collection reflects the great author’s personality, interests and compelling ability to get his point across extremely well.
