( 0 )

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (được biết đến với bút hiệu Mark Twain; 30/11/1835 – 21/4/1910), là một nhà văn khôi hài, tiểu thuyết gia và là nhà diễn thuyết nổi tiếng của Mỹ. Ông sinh ra vào chính ngày sao chổi Halley xuất hiện năm 1835 và mất đúng vào lần sao chổi xuất hiện lần sau, năm 1910.

Mark Twain là một nhà văn trào phúng nổi tiếng của Mỹ. Những tác phẩm của ông, với tính chất châm biếm sâu sắc, với những nét miêu tả tâm lý xã hội cực kỳ khéo léo, đã trở thành những vũ khí sắc bén đấu tranh chống sự áp bức thống trị của bọn cầm quyền phong kiến tư bản, nhất là chống cái chính sách dã man phân biệt chủng tộc đối với người da đen ở Mỹ.

Tác phẩm:

  • Sống thiếu thốn (Roughing It)
  • The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches (1867)
  • Các kẻ ngây thơ ở nước ngoài (Innocents Abroad, 1869)
  • Thời kỳ vàng son (The Gilded Age, 1873).
  • Những cuộc phiêu lưu của Tom Sawyer (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, 1876)
  • Đi nước ngoài (A Tramp Abroad, 1880)
  • Hoàng tử và kẻ nghèo (The Prince and the Pauper, 1882)
  • Đời sống trên dòng sông Mississippi (Life on the Mississippi, 1883)
  • Những cuộc phiêu lưu của Huckleberry Finn (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, 1884)
  • Tên Yankee từ Connecticut trong triều đình vua Arthur (A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, 1889)
  • Người ngồi trong bóng tối (The Person sitting in the Darkness, 1901)
  • Độc thoại của vua Leopold (King Leopold 's Soliloquy, 1905)
  • Người Mỹ đòi quyền lợi (The American Claimant, 1892)
  • Bi kịch của Pudd'nhead Wilson (The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson, 1894) b
  • Theo đường xích đạo (Following the Equator, 1897)
  • Kẻ tham nhũng tại Hadleburg (The Man that Corrupted Hadleburg, 1899)
  • Người xa lạ bí mật (The Mysterious Stranger, 1916)

Với những tiểu thuyết đặc sắc và những nhân vật sống động cống hiến cho nền văn học Mỹ, Mark Twain xứng đáng là vì tinh tú đầu tiên của nền văn học hiện đại nước này.
