Features: Mark Twain (1835-1910) was the founder of American critical realism literature and a world-renowned master of the short story. He introduced regional dialects into literature, making them into refined literary language. He loved adventure but often failed, was rough in manner but had a gentle heart; he aggressively promoted himself but still couldn't escape the whims of fate; his best novels were about children, yet they moved the hearts of millions of adults. His works exposed the class antagonism and racial discrimination in American society, helping people better understand American reality, earning him the title of "Lincoln of American Literature." At the same time, he was also a joker, a gambler, a rebel, and a dreamer. He was a pioneer in literary history. In his 75 years of life, he had bold plans, passionate beliefs, and mischievous adventures—this was Mark Twain. His humor alone was enough to win him world fame, a feat almost unparalleled in literary history. Moreover, he wasn’t just humorous; he represented the extreme good and bad of America, and the world will never see another Mark Twain.
