Mark Twain
When Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in the backwoods of Missouri in 1835 under the glow of Halley's Comet, his mother thought him so thin and sickly that she could "see no promise in him". But by the end of his long and eventful life in 1910, he became Mark Twain, America's best known and best-loved author, its most popular humorist and one of its most profound social satirists. No American of his time saw more of his world than Twain, writing continuously about everything he experienced. Considered in his time as the funniest man on earth, Twain was also an unflinching critic of human nature who used his humor to attack hypocrisy, greed and racism. His books include "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876), "The Gilded Age" (1873) and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1884).
