Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, is one of the most famous writers in American (and world) literature. Twain had a fascinating life that began in hardship in 1835 (only three of his seven siblings survived childhood) and ended shortly before the First World War.
Best known for his writing, Twain was also a gifted raconteur, entrepreneur, publisher, freemason, and lecturer. Over the course of his very busy life, he managed to:
- Patent inventions
- Go bankrupt
- Receive a PhD from Oxford University
All the while, he produced an enormous volume of superbly written literary work.
Twain's Wit and Relevance
Twain recorded some of the most biting commentary and criticism of politics and culture. He is renowned for his brilliant words, aphorisms, one-liners, and sayings. Never a man stuck for words, Twain lived through one of the most amazing eras of political, social, and scientific change and evolution.
Many of his words remain as relevant today as they were 100 years ago. Plenty of his classic phrases grace the pages of The Little Book of Mark Twain, alongside:
- Numerous extracts from his writings
- Commentary and criticism from his contemporaries, fans, and followers
Together, these elements create a superb overview of the man, his character, his writing, and his incredible talent.
