Mark Twain, the pen name for Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), stands as one of America's most enduring literary figures. His sharp wit and deep insight into the human condition have carved him a niche as a foremost humorist and social critic of the 19th century. Born in Florida, Missouri, Twain grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River, an experience that fueled the rich backdrop for his most famous works, 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' (1876) and its sequel, 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' (1885), often referred to as 'the Great American Novel.' A prolific writer, Twain's oeuvre spans multiple genres including travelogues, essays, autobiographical narratives, and lectures. Twain's 'Time Travel Collection' brings together tales that capture his interest in history, the nuances of time, and the human spirit's adventurousness. In these stories, Twain's distinctive literary style — characterized by its blend of humor, satire, and social commentary — vividly comes to life, as he plays with the concept of temporal displacement. Twain's legacy as an author rests not only on his ability to entertain but also on his capacity to challenge the norms and prejudices of his era through his written word. His contributions to literature have been widely recognized, not just in the United States but worldwide, establishing him as a giant in the literary canon.
