Mark Twain (Mark Twain, real name Samuel Langhorne Clemens; November 30, 1835, Florida, Missouri, USA - April 21, 1910, Redding, Connecticut, USA) was an American writer, humorist, journalist and social activist. His work spans many genres - humor, satire, philosophical fiction, journalism, and others, and in all of these genres he has consistently taken a humanist and democratic stance. William Faulkner wrote that Mark Twain was "the first truly American writer, and we have all been his heirs ever since," and Ernest Hemingway believed that all modern American literature came out of one book by Mark Twain, called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Of Russian writers, Maxim Gorky and Alexander Kuprin spoke especially warmly of Mark Twain.
