Autorenporträt
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835. He grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which later served as the setting for two of his most famous novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Before becoming a writer, Twain worked as a printer, steamboat pilot, and miner, experiences that deeply influenced his later works. His first major success as a writer came with the humorous short story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County in 1865.Twain's writing is celebrated for its sharp wit, social commentary, and keen observation of human nature. His works often critiqued the societal norms of his time, and his humor was both a tool for entertainment and a vehicle for serious reflection. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in particular, is hailed as one of the great American novels for its exploration of race and identity in the post-Civil War United States. Twain's ability to blend humor with serious social issues made him a unique voice in American literature.In addition to his literary achievements, Twain was also a sought-after public speaker known for his humor and insight. Despite earning considerable wealth from his writing, he faced financial difficulties later in life due to poor investments. Twain's legacy endures not only through his influential novels and essays but also through his contribution to shaping American literary realism. His life and work continue to be studied and celebrated for their impact on American culture and literature¿.
