Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, is renowned as one of the greatest American writers. Hailed for his wit, satire, and keen observations of the human condition, Twain's literary contributions span a variety of genres, including humor, social critique, and adventure. He began his career as a typesetter before finding his true calling as a writer and humorist. Twain's experiences as a Mississippi riverboat pilot inspired his pen name, derived from the cry 'mark twain,' a measurement of water depth signaling safe passage. His opus encompasses the celebrated classics 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,' which are considered cornerstones of American literature. 'Travel Sketches & Anecdotes' exemplifies Twain's adept storytelling and his skill in capturing the essence of American life and its regional nuances through poignant narrative. Twain's distinct literary style, characterized by his gifted narrative voice and the use of vernacular speech, profoundly influenced American fiction. His humor was often laced with sharp social commentary, an aspect that set him apart from his contemporaries. Twain's legacy endures not just through his literary accomplishments but also through his contributions to American letters and the broader canvas of global literature. He died on April 21, 1910, but his work continues to be celebrated for its innovation, humor, and timeless critique of society.
