Mark Twain was a prolific American author and humourist born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he adopted the pen name Mark Twain in the 1860s, which became his public persona. Twain's writing style was characterized by his use of colloquial language, wit and satire, which often made social and political commentary. He is considered one of the greatest American writers, and his works are known for their humour, social commentary and insight into the human condition. Some of Twain's most famous works include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. His writing often addressed themes of social injustice, morality and the importance of individual freedom. In addition to his writing, Twain was also a prolific lecturer and public speaker, and his witty remarks and humorous stories were widely popular. Twain's personal life was marked by tragedy, including the loss of his wife and two of his children. He died in 1910 at the age of 74, but his legacy as a writer and humourist continues to live on, and his influence can be seen in the works of many modern writers.
