The Prince and the Pauper is a novel by Mark Twain first published in 1881 in Canada, before its 1882 publication in the United States. Set in 1547, it tells the story of two young boys who are identical in appearance: Tom Canty, a pauper who lives with his abusive father in Offal Court off Pudding Lane in London, and Prince Edward, son of King Henry VIII. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is an 1889 novel by Mark Twain, originally published in book form in 1896. The novel is a satirical comedy that looks at 6th-Century England and its medieval culture through the eyes of Hank Morgan, a 19th-century resident of Hartford, Connecticut, who, after a blow to the head, awakens to find himself inexplicably transported back in time to early medieval England at the time of the legendary King Arthur. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, published in 1896, is the remarkable story of the saint's life as told by the fictional Sieur Louis de Conté, Joan's page and secretary, in the form of a memoir written in the twilight of life. The character has had the privilege of growing up with Joan of Arc, accompanying her during the excitement and pageantry of her military campaigns, and being present at each of her three trials. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 – 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel."
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.
