    "All was still. All but my own heart--I could hear it beat. Presently the bedclothes began to slip away slowly toward the foot of the bed, as if some one were pulling them!" In Mark Twain’s "A Ghost Story" from 1875, the narrator rents a room in an old New York City building with upper stories long since given up to dust, cobwebs and silence. On his first night, he experiences something so dreadful that he convinces himself it must be a dream. It isn’t until he finds a giant footprint in the ashes near the hearth, that he realizes something more, perhaps sinister, is at play. Mark Twain masters the balance between horror and humor in this thrilling short story inspired by an infamous real-life nineteenth century hoax.Mark Twain, pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, (1835-1910), was an American humorist, lecturer, journalist and novelist who acquired international fame for his adventure stories of boyhood, especially "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" as well as for his travel narratives, especially "The Innocents Abroad", "Roughing It", and "Life on the Mississippi". Twain transcended the apparent limitations of his origins to become a popular public figure and one of America’s most beloved writers.

    Tumi er ungur drengur sem býr hjá Pollý frænku sinni og er eilíflega til vandræða. Frænkan refsar honum reglulega fyrir strákapörin, en einhvern veginn tekst Tuma alltaf að koma sér hjá refsingunum. Hann verður líka ástfangin af skólasystur sinni og tekur upp á ýmsu til að koma sér í mjúkinn hjá henni. Tumi vingast fljótlega við Stikilsberja-Finn, ungan flækingsdreng í þorpinu, og saman koma þeir sér í enn fleiri vandræði, ekki síst þegar þeir verða vitni að morði. Sagan af Tuma litla (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) er eitt af þekktustu verkum Mark Twains, sem og eitt af þekktustu verkum bandarískra bókmennta. Sagan er uppfull af prakkarastrikum, spennu og drama og í henni er að finna eitthvað fyrir alla, bæði unga og aldna.Samuel Langhorne Clemens (fæddur 30. nóvember 1835, dáinn 21. apríl 1910) var betur þekktur undir höfundarnafninu Mark Twain. Hann reyndi fyrir sér í ýmsum starfsgreinum, áður en hann fann sig í blaðamennsku og skáldskap. Hann var heimsþekktur í lifanda lífi fyrir orðsnilld sína og mælskulist og átti vingott við alls kyns fyrirmenni, bæði í heimalandinu Bandaríkjunum og utan þess. Mark Twain fæddist fljótlega eftir að halastjarna Halleys fór framhjá jörðinni og spáði því að hann myndi fara með henni líka, sem varð eftir, enda lést hann daginn eftir næstu heimsókn halastjörnunnar.

    Jean d'Arc var en bondflicka utan utbildning och kunde varken läsa eller skriva. Vid tolv års ålder sägs hon ha börjat höra himmelska röster, bland annat från helgon, som uppmanade henne till sexuell avhållsamhet och slutligen till att rädda fosterlandet. Hundraårskriget var på väg mot sitt slut och England kontrollerade nästan hela Frankrike. Hon lyckades övertyga den franska kungen att utse henne till överbefälhavare och lyckades driva engelsmännen på flykt innan hon greps. Romanen är uppdelad i tre delar: ungdomen i Domrémy, tiden som överbefälhavare, och slutligen tillfångatagen och dömd till döden för häxkonst i Rouen.Mark Twain (1835-1910) är en pseudonym för Samuel Langhorn Clemens. Han föddes i Missouri och var författare, reporter och tidningsman. Hans genombrott som författare kom år 1876 med Tom Sawyers äventyr.
