Autoren-Porträt von Mark Twain
Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), is an emblem of American literature, renowned for his wit, satirical flair, and keen observations of human nature. Born in Florida, Missouri, Twain grew up alongside the Mississippi River, an environment that profoundly inspired his literary works. A journeyman printer and riverboat pilot, Twain's formative experiences informed his distinctive narrative style, marked by humor and social criticism, which he adeptly employed throughout his expansive body of work. Twain's novel 'The Prince and the Pauper' (1881) exemplifies his literary prowess. This historical novel, set in 16th-century England, explores themes of identity, class disparity, and justice through the switch in lives between two boys who are physical lookalikes: one, a pauper named Tom Canty, and the other, Prince Edward VI. The book is adorned with Twain's characteristic irony and the humanistic insights that pervade his other classics, such as 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' (1876) and 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' (1884), hailed as 'the Great American Novel.' Twain's work has left an indelible mark on American literature, shaping the narrative voice of subsequent generations and offering a lens through which to consider the social issues of his time-and of ours.
