Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), was an American writer famed for his sharp wit, use of dialect, and insightful commentary on human nature. Emerging principally as a humorist, Clemens adopted his famous pseudonym in 1863 while working as a journalist. Twain’s literature spanned a variety of genres, infusing humor and social criticism. His masterpieces ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ (1876) and ‘Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ (1884) have become enduring classics, capturing the essence of life along the Mississippi River and often acclaiming the title ‘Great American Novel’ for the latter. Mark Twain’s works have remained popular due to their timeless themes and incisive satire, also showcased in ‘The Innocents Abroad’ (1869) and ‘A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court’ (1889). Though ‘The Special Edition of the World’s Greatest Mysteries’ is not a well-known work attributed to Twain and may not reflect his extensive and varied bibliography, his contributions continue to influence the fabric of American literature. Twain’s literary style, characterized by lively dialogue, vivid descriptions and a strong narrative voice, has made him a household name and an icon in the world of letters.
