It completes the story begun there of Samuel Clemens's business affairs, especially insofar as they concern dealings with publishers; and it documents Clemens's progress from financial disaster, with the Paige typesetter and Webster \u0026amp; Company, to renewed prosperity under the steady, skillful hand of H. H. Rogers. But Clemens's correspondence with Rogers reveals more than a business relationship. It illuminates a friendship which Clemens came to value above all others, and it suggests a profound change in his patterns of living. He who during the Hartford years had been a devoted family man, content with a discrete circle of intimates, now became again (as he had been during the Nevada and California years) a man among sporting men, enjoying prizefights and professional billiard matches in public, and--in private--long days of poker, gruff jest, and good Scotch whisky aboard Rogers's magnificent yacht.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47592420311191,"sku":"9780520014671","price":7925.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780520014671.webp?v=1774977664","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mark-twains-correspondence-with-henry-huttleston-rogers-1893-1909-volume-4-9780520014671","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
