Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), is one of the towering figures in American literature. Best known for his novels 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,' his literary contributions extend far beyond these iconic narratives. Born in Florida, Missouri, Twain grew up along the banks of the Mississippi, an upbringing that would later inspire much of his writing. His works often reflect the colorful and, at times, grim aspects of American life in the late 19th century.

Twain's legacy endures through his humorous storytelling, profound impact on American realism, and his ability to wield the written word with both irreverence and earnestness. His work is marked by a distinctive blend of humor, narrative genius, and social criticism, which continues to resonate with readers around the world.
