His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. an American author and humorist a journalist (新闻工作者)who satirized the hypocrisy of man and society Born in Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835. When he was four, Twains family moved to Hannibal. In 1847 the death of his father brought an end to his carefree days, and he had to go to work at the age of 12 as a printer’s apprentice(学徒). In 1851, he began working as a typesetter and contributor (投稿者)of articles and humorous sketches (素描) for a newspaper owned by his brother. In 1863,he worked at a Virginia City newspaper. Here he first used his pen name. In 1864,Twain moved to San Francisco, still as a journalist. His first success as a writer came when his humorous tall tale, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, was published in 1865. It brought him national attention. During his seventeen years in Hartford (1874–1891) and over twenty summers at Quarry Farm, Twain wrote many of his classic novels: The Prince and the Pauper (1881) 《王子与贫儿》 Life on the Mississippi (1883) 《密西西比河上的生活》 A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court (1889) 《误闯亚瑟王宫》 the failure of his investments, his fatiguing travels and lectures in order to pay off his debts, the death of his wife and two daughters the darkening social life Some critics link these tragic events with the change of style in his later works, from an optimist and humorist to an almost despairing determinist. Mark Twain died of illness on April 21, 1910. When he passed away, newspapers around the country declared, “The whole world is mourning.” Other works Running for Governor《竞选州长》 The £1,000,000 Bank-Note《百万英镑》 The Gilded Age《镀金时代》 The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Co
