Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was born on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, U.S. He was considered one of the greatest humorists and writers of American literature. His notable books include "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", which has been called the "Great American Novel".

Twain began his career as a printer and became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before he turned to journalism and writing. His gift for satirical humour, regional dialect, and keen depictions of American life painted a vivid picture of 19th-century America. Despite personal losses and financial hardship, Twain continued to write and lecture throughout his life. He died on April 21, 1910, in Redding, Connecticut, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
