Autorenporträt
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30th, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, remains a towering figure in American literature. Renowned for his sharp wit, keen social insights, and masterful use of vernacular speech, Twain's writing continues to captivate and provoke. Following a stint as a printer's apprentice, Twain worked as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, an experience that furnished him with a wealth of anecdotes and characters, eventually inspiring his nom de plume, 'Twain,' a riverman's call noting two fathoms deep. Twain's literary works are vast and varied. He earned considerable acclaim with 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,' often being credited with 'The Great American Novel'. His excellent travelogue, 'Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World' (1897), is marked by its richly detailed narrative and biting social commentary, reflecting his experiences during a lecture tour. In this book, Twain utilized the travel narrative to examine imperialism and cultural arrogance, employing humor as a lens to scrutinize humanity's follies. As a towering figure of American satire, Twain left behind an indelible legacy upon his death on April 21st, 1910, as both a chronicler of American life and a literary innovator.
