Über den Autor
Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), stands among the most celebrated authors in American literature. With a humorist’s eye and a satirist’s pen, Twain’s literary style combined regional dialect, keen social observations, and a deep understanding of human nature, earning him recognition as ‚the father of American literature‘ by William Faulkner. Twain’s childhood in Missouri, near the banks of the Mississippi River, would later fuel the richly detailed settings of his most famous novels, ‚The Adventures of Tom Sawyer‘ (1876) and its sequel ‚Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‘ (1885), the latter often called the ‚Great American Novel.‘ Both are included in ‚The Complete 12 Novels of Mark Twain, ‚ a testament to his prodigious career. Twain’s works transcend mere storytelling, providing critical commentary on the issues of race, class, and justice that were pertinent to post-Civil War America and that continue to resonate today. Lectures and travelogues, such as ‚Following the Equator‘ (1897), showcase his wit and shrewdly observant nature, enthralling readers across generations. Twain’s literary achievements and social criticism earned him a prominent place in the pantheon of American letters, and his work remains both influential and beloved for its enduring relevance and humor.
