Mark Twain
Mark Twain (1835–1910), born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American author and humorist best known for his classic works "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".
Born in Florida, Missouri, Twain worked as a riverboat pilot, gold prospector, and journalist, experiences that deeply influenced his writing. His sharp wit, social commentary, and vivid storytelling brought to life the American South, often tackling themes of race, morality, and human nature.
Twain's mastery of humor and satire made him one of America's most beloved writers, and his influence on American literature remains immense, earning him the title of the "father of American literature."
