About the author

Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, Mark Twain grew up in Hannibal along the Mississippi River. He worked as a printer and typesetter, became a riverboat pilot, and later began writing for newspapers. He adopted the pen name “Mark Twain,” a river term used to indicate safe navigable depth.

Twain became widely known for his humor, storytelling, and distinctive American voice. His best-known books include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Innocents Abroad, and Life on the Mississippi. He also wrote essays, short stories, travel books, and lectures that often combined comedy with pointed criticism of society.

A celebrated author and public figure during his lifetime, Twain died in 1910. His work remains influential for its energy, satire, memorable characters, and vivid portrayal of American life in the nineteenth century.
