Book brief summary
Life on the Mississippi
The childhood of Mark Twain passed in the town of Hannibal on the banks of the famous Mississippi, the love of which the great writer kept for life. After the death of his father in 1847, a teenager was forced to enter the typography as a typesetter, and at the age of twenty he sailed as a pilot on a steamboat. In 1883
 Twain writes "Life on the Mississippi", in which one can already feel the loss of the inherent cheerfulness of the author. The free element of the river corresponds to the internal state of the hero, and it seems that man exists in unity with nature and civilization. But the struggle for success, the arrival of predatory conquerors violate this harmony.
