Über diesen Titel

Mark Twain grew up in Missouri, which was a slave state during

his childhood. He would later incorporate his formative

experiences of the institution of slavery into his writings. As a

teenager, Twain worked as a printer’s apprentice and later as a

typesetter, during which time he also became a contributor of

articles and humorous sketches to his brother Orion’s

newspaper. On a voyage to New Orleans, Twain decided to

become a steamboat pilot. Unsurprisingly, the Mississippi River

is an important setting in much of Twain’s work. Twain also

spent much of his life travelling across the United States, and

he wrote many books about his own adventures, but he is best

known for his novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and

its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), having written

in the latter what is considered to be the Great American

Novel. Twain died of a heart attack in 1910.
