Mark Twain had a remarkable ear for dialogue, and is fondly remembered as a one of the great observers of human nature. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn he has created a lasting work of fiction and a 'must-read'. "So we come to see Huck in the end as one of the permanent symbolic figures of fiction, not unworthy to take a place with Ulysses, Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Hamlet." -- T. S. Eliot. "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. It's the best book we've had." -- Ernest Hemingway.

Samuel Clemens (1835-1910), besser bekannt unter seinem Pseudonym Mark Twain - war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Mark Twain ist vor allem als Autor der B cher ber die Abenteuer von Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn bekannt. Er war ein Vertreter des amerikanischen Realismus und ist besonders wegen seiner humoristischen, von Lokalkolorit und genauen Beobachtungen sozialen Verhaltens gepr gten Erz hlungen sowie aufgrund seiner scharfz ngigen Kritik an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft ber hmt. Samuel Clemens meldete sich in der neu gegr ndeten Siedlung Virginia City, Nevada, in der Menschen aus verschiedenen L ndern zusammentrafen, als Goldgr ber. Doch war die Arbeit in den Minen beschwerlich und finanziell wenig ertragreich. Daher arbeitete Clemens ab 1862 als Reporter f r den Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City. Er berichtete aus den Saloons der Goldgr berstadt und brachte Klatschgeschichten, die manchmal hart an der Grenze zur Verleumdung lagen. 1863 musste er wegen eines Streits fluchtartig die Stadt verlassen. Jedenfalls hatte er mit seinen gut ausgeschm ckten Reportagen f r den Territorial Enterprise einen Anteil an dem Mythos, der sich rund um den "Wilden Westen" bildete. Im Gold-und Silberland erz hlt er ber diese Erfahrung. Aus dem Buch: "In dem vorhergehenden Bande habe ich den Leser ber die Pr rieen, das Felsengebirge und durch die Alkaliw ste in die Hauptstadt des damals neu errichteten Territoriums Nevada, nach der Stadt Carson gef hrt.

Christian Science is a 1907 book by the American writer Mark Twain (1835-1910). The book is a collection of essays Twain wrote about Christian Science, beginning with an article that was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. Although Twain was interested in mental healing and the ideas behind Christian Science, he was hostile towards its founder, Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910). Twain's first article about Christian Science was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. A humorous work of fiction, it describes how he fell over a cliff while walking in Austria, breaking several bones. A Christian Science practitioner who lived nearby was sent for, but could not attend immediately and so undertook to provide an "absent healing." She sent a message asking Twain to wait overnight and to remember that there was nothing wrong with him:

Roughing It follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the Wild West during the years 1861-1867. After a brief stint as a Confederate cavalry militiaman, he joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west. Twain consulted his brother's diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his active imagination for many stories in the novel. Roughing It illustrates many of Twain's early adventures, including a visit to Salt Lake City, gold and silver prospecting, real-estate speculation, and his beginnings as a writer. In this memoir, readers can see examples of Twain's rough-hewn humor, which would become a staple of his writing in his later books, such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
