Who am I？
•
I was born in 1835, in the tiny village of Florida, Missouri. Fortunately, my
parents moved to nearby Hannibal when I was four years old. I say fortunately
because Hannibal is on the banks of the Mississippi River--and that "Old Man
River" gave me lots of ideas for the well-known stories and books that I wrote.
•
Life on the Mississippi(密西西比河上的生活) is one of those books. It's about the
exciting and romantic steamboat era, and about my experiences on the river
when I was learning how to be a steamboat pilot.
•
November 30, 2003, marks the 168th anniversary of my birth. And speaking of
my birth, that's when my father named me Samuel Langhorne Clemens. However,
not too many people know me by that name. When I started writing, I adopted a
new name--a pen name--that has to do with my love of the mighty Mississippi.
Twain, Mark (1835-1910)
•
The author, humorist, and lecturer Mark Twain is
regarded as one of America's greatest writers. His
insight into human nature, his humor, and his use of
everyday American language have made his novels and
stories among the best loved in American literature.
