Mark Twain Audio Books On CD

Hank Morgan is a mechanic, engineer, and a foreman at the Colt Arms Factory. One day he gets into an argument "conducted with crowbars" with an employee known as "Hercules." A blow to the Hank's head sends him back in time to King Arthur's England in the Sixth Century. As a one-man military industrial complex, newspaper tycoon, inventor, and showman, Hank soon rises to a position of power second only to King Arthur himself. A remarkably prescient tale, replete with brilliant humor, exciting action, biting satire, and awe-inspiring philosophy, this book shows off Mark Twain's full range of incredible storytelling gifts.

The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson
UNABRIDGED
"Superb...An energetic and remarkably impassioned narration that brings out the powerful emotions and ironies
of one of Mark Twain's complex works and adds new dimensions."
--R. Kent Rasmussen, author, Mark Twain A to Z, audiobook reviewer for Library Journal

The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson is the tale of Roxy, a beautiful and intelligent slave woman who contrives to save her own light-skinned child from being "sold down the river". She successfully switches her baby with the master's own child, starting a chain of events that lead to surprising and tragic results. This book is considered by many to be Mark Twain's best book dealing with the cruelty, horror, and inhumanity of slavery in 19th century America. This recording is a recreation of Mark Twain's own reading, just as his family might have heard the story for the first time in the family library. 5h38m

Those Extraordinary Twins
A man of many firsts, Mark Twain ws the first author to use the typewriter, as well as the first person to have a telephone in his home (which no doubt made him the first person to swear at tech support!). He also patented the accordion file, the fountain pen, and adjustable suspenders. And when he published "deleted scenes" from "Pudd'nhead Wilson" as "Those Extraordinary Twins" he became the first publisher to include "bonus tracks" along with the finished work. I hope you get as many laughs listening to this little book as I did narrating it. 2h16m.

"...as a short tale grows into a long tale, the original intention (or motif) is apt to get abolished and find itself superseded by a quite different one. It was so in the case of a magazine sketch which I once started to write--a funny and fantastic sketch about a prince and a pauper; it presently assumed a grave cast of its own accord, and in that new shape spread itself out into a book. Much the same thing happened with Pudd'nhead Wilson, because it changed itself from a farce to a tragedy while I was going along with it--a most embarrassing circumstance. ...it was not one story, but two stories tangled together; and they obstructed and interrupted each other at every turn and created no end of confusion and annoyance. So I pulled out the farce and left the tragedy. "

"Henzel's Twain is a white knight in happy combat with human folly...the perfect fusion of beauty and cantankerousness."
Lawrence Bommer, Chicago Reader
"...amazingly good... more energy, passion, and even physical action than one would think possible in a mere reading of a story."
R. Kent Rasmussen, Mark Twain A to Z
"... a panoply of raw-edged witticisms and embellished storytelling... Henzel's impression is flawless."
Lucia Mauro, Chicago Sun Times
"...one feels he has been not only entertained, but filled with the thoughts of America's most representative author."
Caroline Thomas Harnsberger, author, Everyone's Mark Twain
