Autor

Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, USA, was an iconic American author and humorist. Twain's literary career spanned over four decades, during which time he penned some of the most enduring classics of American literature. His experiences growing up along the Mississippi River in the antebellum South formed the backdrop for many of his historical novels, where he often explored themes such as race, societal norms, and the human condition. Notably, works like 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' (1876) and its sequel, 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' (1885), have been heralded as significant contributions to American literature, with the latter frequently referred to as 'the Great American Novel' due to its profound impact on American literary tradition. Twain's sharp wit and satirical prowess are evident in his critique of human nature and commentary on contemporary social mores. His traveling lectures, speeches, and numerous essays also showcase his acumen for storytelling and astute social critique. Twain's influence extends far beyond the literary realm, as his thoughts on politics, religion, and society continue to resonate with readers and scholars alike. His literary style, characterized by its vivid dialect, regional color, and narrative vigor, remains an indelible part of American culture. Twain passed away on April 21, 1910, leaving behind a legacy that has made an indelible impression on the world of literature.
