Remington No. 2Some time ago I talked about the first novel written on the computer , with a word processing program, therefore. Today I go back in time and point out the first novel written with a typewriter . It is not certain - and I believe it is impossible to establish - whether that novel was the first, but it is commonly believed that Mark Twain , pseudonym of Samuel Clemens, was the first writer to send a typed manuscript to a publisher. It also seems that Mark Twain hired someone to type his texts, even though he admitted that he was the first to apply a typewriter to literature. The first novel, therefore, was, according to Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , published in 1876. But this statement is not true.
From careful historical research it seems in fact that Mark Twain confused delivery times and novels. The first typewritten novel was Life on the Mississippi in 1882. In 1874 Mark Twain purchased a Remington No. 2 typewriter, after seeing from the store clerk how easy it was to use. He then complained Special Data about that purchase and gave it back twice, taking it back twice. This news, however, is also incorrect, since Remington introduced its No. 2 model only in 1878. However, another writer claims this primacy, a writer and actress, Fanny Kemble , even though there is no evidence that she ever typed her lyrics. It therefore remains impossible to establish with absolute certainty who was the first writer to send a typewritten novel to a publisher, since no one has ever felt the need to record such an event.
Another woman had been hers, stolen from her legitimate husband, who had been left waiting helplessly. Smiling, she dressed and went out.The man had worked all day to please his lord, who “had the power of life and death” in the village. He would have married that evening, with little celebration, but, according to the law, he could not have consummated that union first, because that right belonged to his master. The man was aware of it. It was for that reason that he had gone to the cemetery, to dig up the woman who had died of syphilis that morning. Several hours later everything was ready and the man stood aside with his head bowed, reluctantly accepting the law of his time. The woman, crying, had entered the house to prepare to give her youth to her lord.
