Printed in the United States. Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910) is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers and humorists. Best known for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and his travel narratives, Twain combined sharp social criticism with humor and vivid storytelling. His travel books remain important examples of nineteenth-century American nonfiction, offering both entertaining observations and insightful commentary on culture, politics, and human nature.
