“马克·吐温”原名萨缪尔·兰亨·克莱门（Samuel Longhorn Clemens），是一名作家、幽默大师和社会评论家。

他可以说是美国历史上最具代表性的作家。他的小说《汤姆·索亚历险记》（The Adventures of Tom Sawyer）和《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》（The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn）讲述的是内战前美国南部和壮阔的密西西比河流域发生的少年冒险故事。

不仅如此，吐温常常以不羁的语调，揭露人们对像奴隶制和种族主义等社会弊病的虚伪态度和恐惧心理。

《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》讲述的是13岁离家出走少年“哈克”的故事，以及他与逃亡奴隶吉姆在密西西比河的旅行。这部小说仍然是美国文学当中的巨著，被许多人认为是最伟大的美国小说。

#AmericanAuthors# Mark Twain

Born Samuel Longhorn Clemens, writer, humorist, and social commentator “Mark Twain” is arguably America’s most iconic writer ever. His novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are more than tales of boyhood adventures set against the backdrop of the antebellum South and the mighty Mississippi River: beneath an often irreverent tone, Twain eviscerated the hypocrisy and horror of social ills like slavery and racism. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the tale of the 13 year old runaway “Huck” and his journey up the Mississippi River with the escaped slave Jim, remains monolithic in American literature and is regarded by many as the greatest American novel.
