While the entire world knows Mark Twain as the renowned author of
many classic American novels, few people are aware that he was also
a highly successful businessman. In fact, more than half of his
life was consumed by moneymaking pursuits, which often resulted in
writing projects being neglected--but at the same time, these
adventures were the inspiration behind many of the characters found
in his books.
In Ignorance, Confidence, and Filthy Rich Friends, Peter Krass
captures a little-known side of this American icon and details the
roller coaster ride of his business ventures in a dramatic,
entertaining, and informative narrative style. From Twain's time as
the founder of his own publishing house--where he made a small
fortune publishing General Ulysses S. Grant's memoirs--to his foray
into venture capitalism and investment in numerous start-up firms,
to his focus on his own inventions, this engaging book reveals the
Mark Twain that few of us know: the no-nonsense, successful
American businessman.
