Journalist, humorist, author, wit, raconteur, man of letters and genial curmudgeon, Samuel L. Clemens (1835-1910) -- better known as Mark Twain -- is one of the most celebrated American writers of the 19th century. In such memorable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Life on the Mississippi and other works, and in his own speeches, letters and conversations, Twain reveals himself as both an incomparable humorist and an insightful observer of social and human foibles.
