    About this audiobook

    Hadleyburg ist eine amerikanische Kleinstadt, die für die Rechtschaffenheit ihrer Bewohner bekannt ist. Eines Tages kommt ein Fremder in die Stadt zu Mary Richards und überreicht ihr einen Sack mit Goldmünzen im Wert von 40.000 $. Das Geld ist für denjenigen bestimmt, der ihm einst - als er hungrig und ohne einen Cent in der Tasche war - 20 $ schenkte und damit sein Leben rettete. Die Worte, die der Unbekannte ihm mit auf den Weg gab, befinden sich im Sack und sollen der eindeutige Beleg dafür sein, welcher Bürger Hadleyburgs der rechtmäßige Besitzer des Geldes ist. Die Geschichte kommt in Gang und damit eine spannende Entwicklung unter den Bürgern von Hadleyburg. Mark Twain stellt ihre Redlichkeit und Unbestechlichkeit auf die Probe.

    Mark Twain

    Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Missouri in 1835, the son of a lawyer. Early in his childhood, the family moved to Hannibal, Missouri – a town which would provide the inspiration for St Petersburg in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. After a period spent as a travelling printer, Clemens became a river pilot on the Mississippi: a time he would look back upon as his happiest. When he turned to writing in his thirties, he adopted the pseudonym Mark Twain ('Mark Twain' is the cry of a Mississippi boatman taking depth measurements, and means 'two fathoms'), and a number of highly successful publications followed, including The Prince and the Pauper (1882), Huckleberry Finn (1884) and A Connecticut Yankee (1889). His later life, however, was marked by personal tragedy and sadness, as well as financial difficulty. In 1894, several businesses in which he had invested failed, and he was declared bankrupt. Over the next fifteen years – during which he managed to regain some measure of financial independence – he saw the deaths of two of his beloved daughters, and his wife. Increasingly bitter and depressed, Twain died in 1910, aged seventy-five.
