American satirist, born on November 30, 1835. He was best known for his novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), which has been described as the "Great American Novel", and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). Many aphorisms have been quoted from him, and the satirist is the son of a lawyer named John Marshall. When his father died, Mark Twain was still at the age of twelve. Throughout his literary career, Mark received numerous awards and honorary degrees from both Yale universities. Missouri, Oxford, and from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Mark Twain was at the beginning of his life, and before he could devote himself to writing, he practiced many works, working as a steward on a number of steamships. He also worked in the profession of prospecting for silver and gold. Then he worked as a press reporter for several local newspapers, until he joined his brother Oren Twain, who owned several newspapers, where they worked together in the field of journalism for several years, until his brother's business suffered loss and then bankruptcy, which made him start roaming between the various cities of the two regions Eastern and Western. During that period he lived on what he was getting in return for the articles he wrote in local newspapers, some of them under a pseudonym. He died in 1910 in Reading, Connecticut, due to cardiomyopathy.
