| Summary | "Mark Twain's Letters — Volume 6 (1907-1910)" by Mark Twain, arranged with commentary by Albert Bigelow Paine, is a collection of correspondence written during the early 20th century. This volume captures the thoughts and experiences of Twain as he received an honorary degree from Oxford, moved into his new home at Redding, Connecticut, and navigated the joys and sorrows of his personal life, including family matters and his evolving health. The letters provide insight into Twain's reflections on human nature, literature, and society, revealing not only his famed humor but also his deeper philosophical musings. In this volume, readers encounter Twain's delightful wit as he engages with a variety of friends and associates, addressing themes such as the absurdity of societal norms, the value of literary contributions, and personal challenges following the death of his daughter, Jean. His letters showcase memorable interactions, from congratulatory expressions to critiques of contemporary literature, while also revealing his vulnerability. Through his correspondence, Twain shares his admiration for the arts, the satisfaction found in familial bonds, and the contemplation of mortality, making this collection a poignant tribute to a literary giant navigating the later years of his remarkable life.
