The Economist,
THE OCTAGONAL study overlooks the green of Elmira College in upstate New York. In it, Mark Twain wrote "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", along with umpteen other stories, articles and speeches. Twain spent his most productive summers on family's farm in Elmira, writing by day and reading his work to his wife and children on the porch in the evening. The unusual shape notwithstanding, the study is small, austere and unremarkable—three words that are in every way the opposite of Twain's life.
