    Extractions: It was in the West that Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, and although the landscape and characters of frontier life play only a small part in his writings, one can always detect a tang of the region where he found his literary voice and identity in his distinctively colloquial style. Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and grew up in nearby Hannibal, on the Mississippi River. His father died in 1847, leaving the family with little financial support, and Clemens became a printer's apprentice, eventually working for his brother, Orion, who had set himself up in Hannibal as a newspaper publisher. After a year spent setting type for newspapers on the east coast, Clemens returned in 1854 to rejoin Orion, who by this time had moved on to start a paper in Keokuk, Iowa. Through all his years in the printshop, Clemens tried his hand at composing humorous pieces, using the heavy-handed techniques of local colorists who were popular at the time. By 1856, he was accomplished enough to receive a commission from the Keokuk Saturday Post for a series of comical letters reporting on his planned travels to South America. But on his way down the Mississippi, Clemens temporarily abandoned his literary ambitions to take up a trade he had dreamed about as a boy. He apprenticed himself to become a riverboat pilot, and after 18 months of training, spent the next three years navigating the Mississippi's ever-changing waters.

    Extractions: GetSponsored "MARK TWAIN" SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS American writer and humorist. His best work is characterized by broad, often irreverent, humor or biting social satire; realism of place and language; memorable characters; and hatred of hypocrisy. Samual Langhorne Clemens was born on November 39, 1835 in Florida, Missouri. His family was very poor when he was growing up. His father died when he was 11 years old so he quit school to become a printer. He worked for his brother Orion as a printer for his newspaper for a few years but then left and spent time in St. Louis, New York City, and Philadelphia. In 1856, he moved to Cincinnati where he got on a riverboat headed for New Orleans. He wanted to go to South America to collect coca but he changed his mind and persuaded the pilot of the boat, Horace Bixby, to teach him to pilot. He received his pilot license in 1859. In 1864, he went to San Francisco to work as a reporter for "The Morning Call" and also to write for local magazines. He started to gain fame when his story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" appeared in the New York Saturday Press on November 18, 1865. In 1867 Twain lectured in New York City; he also visited Europe and the Holy Land. He wrote of these travels in The Innocents Abroad (1869), a book burlesquing those aspects of Old World culture that impress American tourists. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon (1845-1904).

    Extractions: More Connecticut history, heritage, people, places and things... Born:  Florida, Missouri; November 30, 1835 Died:  Redding, Connecticut; April 21, 1910 While not of Connecticut, Samuel Clemens was certainly the most celebrated popular author resident in Connecticut in the late nineteenth century. As a resident of Hartford from the early 1870s to the early 1890s, Clemens produced his most noted works: Roughing It The Gilded Age (1873), with Charles Dudley Warner, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer A Tramp Abroad The Prince and the Pauper Life on the Mississippi The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884); and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court The amazing literary productivity of Clemens during his Hartford years can be traced to a number of elements. First of all, the Clemens who came to Hartford was able to draw upon a wealth of material he had accumulated as a youngster in the village of Hannibal on the Mississippi River; as a printer in Iowa, St. Louis, Philadelphia, and New York City; as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi-from whence the pen name “Mark Twain,” a call on riverboats when sounding water depths; as a miner in Nevada; as a newspaperman with the Territorial Enterprise of Virginia City, Nevada, and the San Francisco

    Extractions: Samuel Langhorne Clemens (pen name Mark Twain ) was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri. Twain is considered the greatest humorist of 19th Century American literature. His novels and stories about the Mississippi River: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1894) are still popular with modern readers. In 1839 the Clemens family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River where young Sam experienced the excitement and colorful sights of the waterfront. Like many authors of his day he had little formal education. His education came from the print shops and newspaper offices where he worked as a youth. In 1853 Clemens left Hannibal with a yearning to travel. On a trip to New Orleans he persuaded a riverboat pilot to teach him his skill. By the Spring of 1859 Clemens was a licensed riverboat pilot. At the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861) Clemens chose not to get involved and moved to Carson City, Nevada. After an unsuccessful attempt at gold and silver mining he joined the staff of a newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada. He first wrote under the pen name, "Mark Twain" (meaning "two fathoms" in riverboat-talk) in 1863. "Twain" wrote his first popular story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" in 1865.

    Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Mark Twain (1835-1910) - pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens American writer, journalist, humorist, who won a worldwide audience for his stories of youthful adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Sensitive to the sound of language, Twain introduced colloquial speech into American fiction. In Green Hills of Africa , Ernest Hemingway wrote: " All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn ..." "When I was a boy, there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of the Mississippi River. That was, to be a steamboatman." (from 'Old Times on the Mississippi', 1875) Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) was born in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian family. He was brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his father's death in 1847, Twain was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brother's newspaper. Twain worked later as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot (1857-61), adopting his name from the call ('Mark twain!' - meaning by the mark of two fathoms) used when sounding river shallows. But this isn't the full story: he had also satirized an older writer, Isaiah Sellers, who called himself Mark Twain. In 1861 Twain served briefly as a confederate irregular. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited two years Territorial Enterprise

    Extractions: [BACK to the Great Freethinkers.] Mark Twain By Punkerslut His real name was Samuel Clemens, but he took on the pen name of Mark Twain. Towards the end of his life, Twain held a bitter detestment of religion. His animosity towards Christianity was seething. In his book Christian Science (1907), he attacked the new religion of Mary Baker Eddy; the work was considered sacrilegious. Clemens' book Letters from Earth was suppressed by his daughter and several publishers due to the fact that it was anticlerical. It was not published until 1962, over half a century after Clemens' death. He called the Mormon Bible "an insiped mess of inspiration. It is chloroform in print." (Resource: Who's Who In Hell , by Warren Allen Smith.) Although Huclkeberry Finn and Tom Sawyer were some of his more popular works, many of his antireligious works include, From Adam's Diary From Eve's Diary (1906), and Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven (1909). In one of his essays, "Bible Teaching and Religious Practice," he wrote... The Christian Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same; but the medical practice changes. For eighteen hundred years these changes were slight scarcely noticeable. The practice was allopathic allopathic in its rudest and crudest form. The dull and ignorant physician day and night, and all the days and all the nights, drenched his patient with vast and hideous doses of the most repulsive drugs to be found in the store's stock; he bled him, cupped him, purged him, puked him, salivated him, never gave his system a chance to rally, nor nature a chance to help. He kept him religion sick for eighteen centuries, and allowed him not a well day during all that time. The stock in the store was made up of about equal portions of baleful and debilitating poisons, and healing and comforting medicines; but the practice of the time confined the physician to the use of the former; by consequence, he could only damage his patient, and that is what he did.

    Extractions: The realism and humor of Mark Twain is the result and culmination of Southwesterm humor. Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, his life began in the small village of Florida, Missouri moving to Hannibal, Missouri within a few years. It was Hannibal that served as Twain's model town for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn . Twain was apprenticed to a printer in 1847 and by 1850 was working with his brother Orion's newspaper, the Hannibal Journal It was on May 1, 1852 that Twain wrote his first storya Southwestern humor sketch. "The Dandy Frightening the Squatter" was published in the Boston Carpet-Bag and was Twain's first published literary work. Soon after this, Twain left to become a journeyman printer and traveled throughout the north until his well known decision to become a river boat pilot on the Mississippi River in 1857. After a short stint with the Confederate Army in 1861, Twain spent the next six years in the West as a miner, newspaper reporter and writer. It was during these years that Twain developed his insight and appreciation for the Southwestern way of life through personal experience. "Jim Blaine and His Grandfather's Old Ram" and "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" are Southwestern humor sketches that Twain penned soon after.

A sua obra tem sido coroada com todas as honras, menos uma - ser compreendido como merece. Temos deixado que a sua reputação apenas se alicerce sobre o que há de menos apreciável no que escreveu. Admiramo-lo como o maior humorista norte-americano e desconhecemo-lo como - talvez - um dos mais profundos filósofos da América. Quando rimos das suas graças esquecemo-nos da sátira que se esconde em muitas delas.. Quando prestamos atenção ao gorro e aos guizos, não vemos o profeta disfarçado de bobo. Sem dúvida que Mark Twain foi um humorista. Mas os humoristas do seu tipo são homens que trazem no rosto estampado o riso e no coração o amargor. Como disse aquele outro humorista cheio de pessimismo que se chamou Voltaire, riem para se não enforcarem. Ao penetrarem profundamente no cerne das coisas, sentem-se esmagados ante a deplorável estupidez da «desgraçada raça humana». Por isso afivelam a máscara da comédia como meio de ocultar as lágrimas.
