Autor

Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), is one of America's most celebrated authors, renowned for his wit, storytelling prowess, and his keen observations of human nature. Twain's literary career spanned over four decades, during which he wrote novels, short stories, essays, and numerous lectures. Born in Missouri and raised along the Mississippi River, Twain's early experiences on the river would greatly influence his writing, most recognizably in 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' (1876) and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' (1884), the latter often lauded as the 'Great American Novel.' Twain's style is marked by humor, satire, and a deep skepticism of social norms, pressing issues such as social inequality, and the hypocrisy of organized religion. His 'The Complete Works of Mark Twain' is an extensive collection that showcases the breadth of his writing, encompassing his beloved novels, travel writings like 'The Innocents Abroad' (1869), and his poignant late works such as 'The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson' (1894). His influence on the American literary canon is immeasurable, and his works continue to be celebrated for their innovation in both form and content. Twain's legacy lives on as a father of American literature and a master of the written word, his work serving as a cornerstone of American storytelling.
