Synopsis "English As She Is Taught: A Collection of Victorian Student Bloopers, Blunders and Howlers (in English)"

Did you know that "aborigines" were a system of mountains? Or that an "equestrian" was someone who asks questions? Or that the food of the gods is "ammonia"? Long before the book "Pullet Surprises" set all America chuckling over student bloopers, teachers have been collecting the best of their pupils' blunders and howlers. This classic Victorian collection will keep YOU chuckling - and teach you a few things you probably didn't know, such as the fact that "a verb is something to eat" and "every sentence must begin with a caterpillar." Reformatted to fit today's bookshelf, this wonderful collection includes Mark Twain's witty review and introduction to the book, from Century Magazine.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, más conocido como Mark Twain, ha pasado a la historia de la literatura gracias al ingenio, humor y picardía que destila su obra. A menudo considerado el Dickens estadounidense, Twain fue periodista, tipógrafo, escritor y, sobre todo, un aventurero incansable. Su sed de aventuras lo llevó en un largo periplo lleno de experiencias: fue aprendiz de piloto, buscó fortuna en las minas de plata, recorrió el mundo dando conferencias y fue nombrado doctor honoris causa por la universidad de Oxford. Todo ello lo inspiró para empezar a escribir pequeños cuadernos de viaje que publicaba en la prensa. Se calcula que llegó a escribir más de 500 obras, entre las que destacan _Las aventuras de Huckelberry Finn_ y _Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer_: dos novelas en las que Twain evoca una infancia inocente y feliz, en la que brillan la ilusión y la rebeldía que preceden a la edad adulta. Mark Twain nació durante una de las apariciones del cometa Halley, y predijo que “se marcharía con él”. Efectivamente, el autor nos dejó el 21 de abril de 1910, a la estela de una nueva visita del cometa. ‍
