I Want To Live Volume 2


Book Description

This book, I Want To Live, Volume Two, is the follow up to the first I Want To Live book. After my first medical operation for bowel cancer in 1994, I thought then that I was free of this awful disease. But my troubles had only just begun. What had pleasantly turned from good news from the doctors about an illness that was in remission would turn into another nightmare. Just a short eighteen months later, after a Cat-scan at hospital, I was told by the doctors that there had been a recurrence of my illness. Now another serious operation was in the offing in 1996. This second operation took place, following by radiotherapy. I had triumphed again, for how long? I was to return to hospital for another operation in 1997, the third in three years... surely this was the last, I wondered. But it was not to be. Ten years passed, then I returned to hospital again in 2007.




Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2


Book Description

Mark Twain’s complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the author’s death, as he requested. Published to rave reviews, the Autobiography was hailed as the capstone of Twain’s career. It captures his authentic and unsuppressed voice, speaking clearly from the grave and brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Mark Twain’s life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Filled with his characteristic blend of humor and ire, the narrative ranges effortlessly across the contemporary scene. He shares his views on writing and speaking, his preoccupation with money, and his contempt for the politics and politicians of his day. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Editors: Benjamin Griffin and Harriet E. Smith Associate Editors: Victor Fischer, Michael B. Frank, Sharon K. Goetz and Leslie Diane Myrick
