Autorenporträt
Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, stands as one of the titans of American literature. Born on November 30, 1835, in the small town of Florida, Missouri, Twain grew up in Hannibal, a Mississippi River port that would later furnish the backdrop for many of his most beloved works such as 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. Twain's prolific career spanned writing, lecturing, and entrepreneurship, but it is his mastery of humor and satire, and his unerring eye for the foibles of human nature that endear him to readers worldwide. Much of Twain's best work is characterized by an uncanny ability to capture the speech patterns and colloquialisms of 19th-century America, providing a vivid window into a bygone era. His literary style combines social criticism and a keen observation of the everyday life, often reflecting the contradictions of the 'Gilded Age'. 'The Complete Letters of Mark Twain' is a collection that offers intimate insights into Twain's life, showcasing his wit and intellect across personal correspondence. His letters provide a rich context to his literary output, adding depth to the understanding of his narrative voice, and revealing the man behind the indelible myth. Twain passed away on April 21, 1910, but his legacy endures, with his works continuing to challenge, amuse, and inspire. His deep influence on the American literary canon makes him an inescapable reference point for the scholars and general readers alike.
