About the author
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835, in the small town of Florida, Missouri, is one of America's most celebrated authors and humorists. Twain's literary career spanned over half a century, during which he penned iconic works such as 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' (1876) and its sequel 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' (1884), often described as the 'Great American Novel'. His sharp wit, masterful use of dialect, and biting social commentary earned him high praise and a place at the forefront of 19th-century literature. 'A Dog's Tale' (1904) is another fine example of Twain's writing, wherein he employs a narrative perspective of a loyal and intelligent dog, showcasing his capacity for empathy and his critical examination of human ethics and cruelty. Twain's style often broke from literary conventions, marrying verbal colloquialism with rich storytelling that was both accessible and profound, capturing the complexities and contradictions of American society. He passed away on April 21, 1910, leaving behind an indelible legacy that continues to be studied and enjoyed for its humor, narrative innovation, and its incisive commentary on the human condition.
