About the Author
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American humorist and writer, best known for his enduring novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has been called âthe Great American Novel.â Raised in Hannibal, Missouri, Twain held a variety of jobs including typesetter, riverboat pilot, and mining, before achieving nationwide attention for his work as a journalist with âThe Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.â He earned critical and popular praise for his wit and enjoyed a successful career as a public speaker in addition to his writing. Twainâs works were remarkable for his ability to capture colloquial speech, although his adherence to the vernacular of the time has resulted in the suppression of his works by schools in modern times. Twainâs birth in 1835 coincided with a visit by Halleyâs comet, and Twain predicted, accurately, that he would âgo out with itâ as well, dying the day following the cometâs return in 1910.
