Mark Twain 
Roughing It (Hardcover) (Found Treasures [EPUB ebook] 
Collection of Translations)

Roughing It is an early masterpiece that built up Mark Twain’s status a master of humor. The book describes the author’s prospecting experience in the Western United States and describes the arduous gold panning life as vigorous. Some of the exaggerated and funny stories fully reflect the author’s talent and language style as a master of humor. From a unique perspective and technique, the author describes all kinds of life in American society in the middle 19th century: Making a fortune and extravagance, pursuit and adventure, ambition and desire, violence and cleverness, hope, struggle, securing personal gain, fail, being frustrated, disillusionment… and shows a lot of comedies in the illusion of the crowd rushing there to search gold.
