Without a doubt, Mark Twain was one of the greatest American writers of all time. However, he was a "highly in demand" featured speaker, who performed hundreds of solo humorous talks similar to what would become the stand up comedy of now days. He gave paid talks to many men's clubs (Authors Club, Beefsteak Club, Vagabonds, White Friars, and Monday Evening Club of Hartford, among others).In the late 1890's, he spoke to the Savage Club in London and was elected honorary member. When told that only three men had been so honored, including the Prince of Wales, he replied "Well, it must make the Prince feel mighty fine." In 1897, Twain spoke to the Concordia Press Club in Vienna as a special guest, following diplomat Charlemagne Tower, Jr.. In German, to the great amusement of the assemblage, Twain delivered the speech "Die Schrecken der deutschen Sprache" ("The Horrors of the German Language"). In 1901, Twain was invited to speak at Princeton University's Cliosophic Literary Society, where he was made an honorary member.All the aforementioned speeches, and many more, (over 100 in total), are included in this volume. His wisdom, wit and humour is condensed in those excellent speeches, now in your hands for your great enjoyment.
