Merry Tales (The Oxford Mark Twain) IMPORTANT NOTES: PLEASE be aware that if there is just ONE photo in our listings, it means it is a GENERIC STOCK PHOTO. Condition descriptions provided by eBay in their 'item specifics' template shown above my listings are sometimes incorrect due to limitations of the EBAY software listing program. [Data, including stock photos, is pulled in from outside resources automatically, to create these listings. sometimes that data may be incorrect, or cover art may be different.] This collection of captivating tales displays Twain's characteristic energy, imagination, and sense of fun, as well as the darkly satirical edge that marks so much of his work. His targets range from the difficulty of learning German (explored in a three-act play where two young lovers are obliged to conduct their courtship in beginning German), to the incompetence of military command (found in a sketch called "Luck" in which it is revealed that a celebrated general's most lauded battle stratagem resulted from his confusing his right hand with his left). The best-known story in this collection is "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed," one of the few pieces Twain ever wrote about his experiences in the Civil War. His friend William Dean Howells found it "immensely amusing, with such a bloody bit of heartache in it." As Anne Bernays writes in her introduction, "unmatched in the care and handling of tone," "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed" is "a merry tale about shattered innocence and slaughter, an antiwar manifesto that is also confession, dramatic monologue...and a romp that gradually turns into atrocity even as we watch." It is a small masterpiece.
