On November 30, 1835, a boy named Samuel Clemens was born in Florida, the US. Many years later, the world would know this boy as Mark Twain.
Mark Twain is one of the greatest US writers of all time. Some people even call him the father of American literature.
Like many US writers of his day, Twain had little school education. As a teenager, he worked as a printer. Later, he worked as a riverboat pilot, a miner and a freelancer(特约人员) for newspapers. These experiences gave him wonderful writing material.
Mark Twain is considered the greatest humourist of his age. His jokes go to the roots of human nature. In 1873, Twain released a book called The Gilded Age. The book made fun of the very wealthy people of the time.
Besides humour, Twain developed a unique writing style that was very American. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn describes the adventures of a boy, Huck Finn, and a black slave, Jim. Twain used dialects(方言) in the novel, making the characters' speech sound like real Americans': using local dialects, newly invented words, and regional accents.
In 1910, Twain died of heart disease. But his brilliance keeps on shining to this day.
