Description
Revered as one of America's greatest humorists and author of the "Great American Novel" ("Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"), the words of Samuel Langhorne Clemens--more commonly known as Mark Twain--resonate as strongly today as they did when he wrote them more than a century ago. A close friend of Nikola Tesla and heralded by William Faulkner as "the father of American literature," Twain's wit, wisdom, and influence continues through the present day.

He authored The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which is often referred as the "Great American Novel," as well as eleven other novels and dozens of short stories and essays.
