life introduction:
Mark Twain, an American writer, novelist and humorist, published more than 30 books, hundreds of short stories and essays and gave
lecture tours around the world throughout his career. During his whole life, Mark Twain carried on many kinds of jobs. From 1864, he became a reporter and travelled in Europe. By the end of his life in 1910, he had become known as the perfect example of American author. Behind the mask of humour and satire, his writing often criticized social morals, politics and human nature, making his literature a unique reflection of the American experience in the latter part of the nineteenth century. In the 1890s Mark Twain became very poor. To recover from the bankruptcy, he started a world lecture tour, during which one of his daughters died. The death of his wife and his second daughter darkened his later years.
Mark Twain died on April 21, 1910.
