Mark Twain (1895-1910) - pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, American writer, journalist, and humorist, who won a worldwide audience for his stories of youthful adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Sensitive to the sound of language, Twain introduced colloquial speech into American fiction.

Ernest Hemingway claimed that "All modern literature stems from this one book."
