Roughing It
Deep in the Wild West, young Mark Twain adventures through America. He's on a journey to a faraway land. With his brother by his side, Twain treks from town to town, undertaking a variety of jobs along the way. A prequel to his first novel, `The Innocents Abroad', `Roughing It' is a wanderlust-filled tale of personal growth and travel. Crafted with wit and humour, the memoir transports readers on a journey back to Twain's humble beginnings as a writer. Painting a captivating picture of 19th century America, the classic is perfect for Western lovers of Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt's `The Magnificent Seven'.
Mark Twain, pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) was an American humorist, lecturer, journalist and novelist. Celebrated today as the father of American literature, his work spans epic stories of boyhood such as `The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and `The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', as well as travel narratives, such as `The Innocents Abroad', `Roughing It', and `Life on the Mississippi'. A friend to presidents, artists and royalty, he is remembered today as a popular public figure. Continuing his influence, Twain inspires Disney attractions, singer Tom Petty's `Down South' and was portrayed by Nathan Osgood in the 2018 comedy `Holmes and Watson'.
