Produktinformationen zu „Ignorance, Confidence, and Filthy Rich Friends (PDF)“
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.
