| Der ausgezeichnete amerikanische Humorist Samuel Clemens, welchen die ganze Welt unter dem Namen „Mark Twain“ kennt, ist so arm wie eine Kirchenmaus. Der Bankerott seiner Verleger Webster & Co. hat ihn ruinirt. Er fristet sein Leben in London in der armseligsten Weise von der Welt. Das ist um so schlimmer, da er bereits 60 Jahre alt ist. | The excellent American humorist Samuel Clemens, known to the whole world as “Mark Twain,” is as poor as a church mouse. The bankruptcy of his publishers Webster & Co. has ruined him. He ekes out a living in London in the most miserable way in the world. This is all the worse because he is already 60 years old. |
