MARK TWAIN (1835-1910) (born Samuel Langhome Clemens) is one of the best-known American writers, recognized almost anywhere in the world. He spent his childhood in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi River. Later, in his books "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1884) Twain made the Mississippi a place of light, happiness and adventure, one of the most wonderful countries of the imagination, and a myth of everyone's childhood. These two famous books were Twain's hymn to boyhood, in which he described boyhood's deepest wishes for fame, heroism, treasure, and admiration.
Samuel's schooling ended very early. At the age of 11, after his father's death, he was apprenticed to a printer. This occupation gave him a useful education. The print shop was to Twain a college. It was a world of the printed word which awakened his mind and a thirst for knowledge. He picked up a lot of information when printing and learned to tell good writing from bad.
Mark Twain had changed many jobs before he became a writer. He was a steamboat pilot, took up silver mining, prospected for gold in California gold fields, tried speculation in timber and land, and finally became a journalist, the author of humorous stories, the most famous being "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". Then he went on tours to Hawaii, Europe, and the Middle East as a correspondent. Later his adventures served as the subject of several books. On his return he became a successful humorous lecturer.
Twain felt a call for humorous literature. But with years, his humour changed. Once light and amusing, it later became sharp and bitter. He often showed people as 'a museum of diseases' and attacked society with all its wrong.
Twain's story "How I Edited an Agricultural Paper" was published in 1870.
