http://www.proverbes-citations.com/twain.htm
Twain, Mark Voyage des innocents À la Dure (1872), il relate ses aventures de mineur et de journaliste et dans la Vie sur le Mississippi (1883), ses expériences de batelier. Son roman le plus connu, les Aventures de Tom Sawyer (1876), raconte les expériences d'un jeune garçon dans une ville située au bord du Mississippi. L'ouvrage les Aventures de Huckleberry Finn (1884), qui constitue la suite de Tom Sawyer, est généralement considéré comme le chef-d'œuvre de Twain. En apparence débordant d'humour et d'exubérance, cet ouvrage démasque en fait la cruauté qui alimente les événements les plus quotidiens. Le pessimisme de Twain apparaît davantage encore dans des ouvrages plus tardifs, comme Jeanne d'Arc (1896) ou le Mystérieux Étranger (posthume, 1916). Il écrivit aussi des nouvelles, mais également des essais philosophiques, sociaux et politiques et des notes autobiographiques. Avec un bon compliment, je peux vivre deux mois. C'est beau d'être vertueux, mais apprendre aux autres à l'être, c'est encore plus beau... et tellement plus facile. C'est la différence d'opinion qui fait les courses de chevaux.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Twain's Life and Work Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, one of six children, and grew up in nearby Hannibal - the St. Petersburg of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn His father died in 1847, leaving the family with little financial support, and Clemens became a printer's apprentice at the age of 14. He worked for his brother, a Hannibal newspaper publisher, then worked for newspapers on the east coast before returning to work for his brother in Keokuk, Iowa. While working as a printer, Clemens began to compose humour pieces. But in 1856, he left newspapering to become a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi, going through an 18-month apprenticeship and then working as a pilot for three years.
This ended with the onset of the Civil War. Clemens served briefly in the Confederate army, deserting to join his brother in Nevada. Clemens worked in the dominant industries of that new state, timber and mining, before returning to newspaper work as a feature writer in Virginia City; here he adopted the pseudonym, “Mark Twain,” after a call of the riverboat sounders (It was the call that indicated a depth of two fathoms.)
After two years in Nevada, Clemens moved on to San Francisco, continuing to write for newspapers and other periodicals, and becoming identified with regional humor about the gold fields and such. He worked with the famous editor and writer Bret Harte, and under his tutelage developed his own colloquial style, expressed in the popular short story

    Samuel Clemens
    Mark Twain
    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.

    Mark Twain
    American Author and Humorist The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.
    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.
