Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, is widely regarded as one of the greatest American authors. His literary career began in the mid-19th century and he gained fame for his wit and keen observations of human nature. Twain's works often reflect his deep understanding of American society, particularly the complexities of race and identity, as seen in his most famous novels, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." These books not only entertain but also serve as critical commentaries on the social issues of Twain's time.

In addition to his novels, Twain was a prolific writer of essays, short stories, and travel literature. His unique voice and humor have influenced countless writers and continue to resonate with readers today. Twain's experiences as a riverboat pilot, gold prospector, and journalist provided him with rich material for his storytelling. His ability to capture the essence of American life and his fearless critique of societal norms solidify his place as a central figure in American literature.
