Mark Twain (nee Samuel Clemens), possibly one of the most gifted American satirists and authors to ever put pen to paper, famously made his home in Connecticut, but it was in a small hut in an Elmira, New York farm that he composed many of his most famous works. This very hut now sits in the middle of a college campus, inspiring new generations of writers on a daily basis.

Opened in 1865, the theatre was erected to house the Nevada Theatre Association after their former residence, the Bailey House Hotel was lost in a fire. Mark Twain would take the stage as a lecturer during some of his earliest talks in 1866, well before publishing any major works.

Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel Huckleberry Finn (1884), by Samuel L. Clemens, raised a tempest in the cambric-teapot world and are even yet looked at askance in some children’s libraries. But in spite of moralists they immediately took the foremost place as stories of the American boy, and in a surprisingly short while became world classics. They are not explicitly treated as boy’s stories throughout, and in each are description and social observation beyond the appreciation of young readers; yet they have doubtless never failed with boy as with man to reap the highest triumph possible to fiction, the reader’s recognition of his own psychology and temperament. The general unimprovingness of both of these books was balanced, for moralists, by the excess of serious purpose in the author’s third book for young people, The Prince and the Pauper (1882). It is an impressive panorama of splendid scenes of ancient legal and royal cruelty.

Unterwegs auf dem Mississippi - Vor 100 Jahren starb Mark Twain
Der Mann, den Ernest Hemingway zum Vater der amerikanischen Literatur erklärte, hatte keineswegs vor, Schriftsteller zu werden. Mark Twains Traum war es, eines Tages auf einem Mississippi-Dampfer als Lotse zu fahren. Der literarische Vater von Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn starb vor 100 Jahren.

Enuf or Enough? Why Is English Spelling So Random?
Have you had "enough" (or "enuf") trouble spelling to make you want to "scream" (or "skreem"?) You are not alone. Since the 17th century, scholars have been protesting the irregularities that occur in English spelling. Reform movements can boast such iconic English-speaking figures Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin, "Mark Twain", and Theodore Roosevelt. English is currently the most widely-spoken language on the planet, yet it is the only language among the top ten most spoken that lacks an official regulatory academy to approve spelling.

Mark Twain at Your Fingertips: A Book of Quotations
By: Mark Twain, Caroline Thomas Harnsberger
One of America's greatest storytellers, Samuel Clemens had something witty and wise to say on just about every topic. Gathered from his classic novels, diary entries, newspaper articles, and correspondence, this collection of wry quips and quotes reflects his keen observations on animals, critics, doctors, laughter, politics, youth, and other topics. Arranged alphabetically — "Abroad to Ax," for example, along with "Madness to Mystery" and "Uncle to Utah" — the subjects are also conveniently indexed and cross-referenced by topic.
- "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."
- "When in doubt, tell the truth."
- "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
(E?)(L?) http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=twain
"twain" Old English "twegen" "two" (masc. nominative and accusative), from Proto-Germanic "*twa-" "two" (see "two"). It corresponds to Old Frisian "twene", Dutch "twee", Old High German "zwene", Danish "tvende". The word outlasted the breakdown of gender in Middle English and survived as a secondary form of "two", especially in cases where the numeral follows a noun. Its continuation into modern times was aided by its use in KJV and the Marriage Service, in poetry (where it is a useful rhyme word), and in oral use where it is necessary to be clear that two and not to or too is meant. In U.S. nautical use as "a depth of two fathoms" from 1799.

“It is questionable whether there is a stranger place than this in the history of human crime,” marveled Mark Twain after spending a night in the “Karzer” of the University of Heidelberg. From 1778 to 1914, students of the University were locked up here for “trivial offences” - the term of incarceration was between three days and four weeks. Mark Twain wanted to stay in this historic prison and was deeply impressed by the stories told by the portraits and slogans on the walls of the jail.

Der erste Schriftsteller im Besitz einer (Remington-) Schreibmaschine war Mark Twain (* Florida[Mo.] 1835, † Redding [Conn.] 1910), der sie, angelockt durch ein im Schaufenster eines Bostoner Geschäftes ausgestelltes Modell, 1874 erstand. Er konnte als erster Autor seinem Verlag ein maschinengeschriebenes Buchmanuskript abliefern: den Text zu "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", London: Chatto & Windus 1876.

Der auf die Kolonisationszeit im "Wilden Westen" der USA bezogene Wildwestroman (auch Wildwestgeschichte, -erzählung, -film), der Western (amerik.), der die Kämpfe der Pioniere mit den Indianern, der Siedler, Goldsucher, Cowboys usw. zum Inhalt hat, hat seine Vorläufer in den "Dime-Novels" (Groschenheften) des Amerikaners Erastus F. Beadle (1860), in den Wildwestgeschichten der amerikanischen Schriftsteller Mark Twain (* Florida [Mo.] 1835, † Redding [Conn.] 1910), Francis Bret(t) Harte (* Albany [N. Y.] 1836, † Camberley[bei London ] 1902) u.a.
Der erste "klassische" Western ist jedoch erst der Cowboyroman "The Virginian" des amerikanischen Schriftstellers Owen Wister (* Philadelphia [Pa.] 1860, † North Kingston [R. I.] 1938), New York 1902. Er begründete die ernsthaftere Linie des Western und überwand das Niveau der Dime-Novel.

sein Pseudonym übernahm er angeblich vom Mississippi-Lotsen Isaiah Seller, der unter dem Namen Mark Twain allerlei Geschichten aus seinem Lotsenleben veröffentlicht hatte. Diese Geschichten wiederum hatte der uns heute als Mark Twain bekannte Samuel Clemens parodiert, worauf Isaiah Seller nie wieder etwas publiziert haben soll; womöglich nahm Clemens deshalb den Künstlernamen an, um als eine Art Wiedergutmachung zumindest den Namen des Kritisierten weiterleben zu lassen; einer anderen Quelle zufolge handelt es sich bei seinem Künstlernamen lediglich um einen typischen Zuruf der Mississippi-Schiffer, die "mark twain" riefen, sobald sie zwei (= twain) Faden Wassertiefe gemessen hatten.

When the first volume of Mark Twain's uncensored Autobiography was published in 2010, it was hailed as an essential addition to the shelf of his works and a crucial document for our understanding of the great humorist's life and times. This third and final volume crowns and completes his life's work. Like its companion volumes, it chronicles Twain's inner and outer life through a series of daily dictations that go wherever his fancy leads.

"Returns"
Publiziert am 10.11.2013
Mark Twain once said: „There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
Brilliant! But how can one express such a simple thing as "returns" (please always use in plural, so there is more of it) in other languages, for example German or Spanish? Well, let me first look at what my Merriam Webster says a return is (oh! They define it in singular, how disappointing!):

Mark Twain
Der US-amerikanische Schriftsteller erlangte Berühmtheit durch seinen literarischen Humor und seine literarische Satire. Dazu zählt sein weltberühmtes Werk "Die Abenteuer des Huckleberry Finn" aus dem Jahr 1884. Er war ein Wegbereiter der modernen amerikanischen Epik, in der er ein Spiegelbild der zeitgenössischen amerikanischen Gesellschaft auf der unteren sozialen Ebene lieferte. Das literarische Vorbild zu "Huckleberry Finn" lieferte der spanische Schelmenroman. Mark Twain war ein Meister der gesprochenen Sprache und der Pointen. In seinem Alterswerk vertrat er eine pessimistische Anschauung. Mark Twains schriftstellerisches Verdienst liegt zudem darin, dass er die Dialekte des Mittleren Westens der USA in die Literatur einführte...
...
Mark Twain verließ Hannibal und arbeitete in verschiedenen Städten der USA als Drucker. Ab dem Jahr 1857 wurde er Lotse auf einem Mississippidampfer. Aus der Zeit dieser Tätigkeit stammt auch sein Künstlername. "Mark Twain" bedeutet in der Sprache der Flussschiffer zwei Faden (3,69 m), und damit ist die Tiefe des Flusses gemeint.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (* 30. November 1835 in Florida, Missouri; † 21. April 1910 in Redding, Connecticut) - besser bekannt unter seinem Pseudonym "Mark Twain" - war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller.
Mark Twain ist vor allem als Autor der Bücher über die Abenteuer von Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn bekannt. Er war ein Vertreter des Literatur-Genres „amerikanischer Realismus“ und ist besonders wegen seiner humoristischen, von Lokalkolorit und genauen Beobachtungen sozialen Verhaltens geprägten Erzählungen sowie aufgrund seiner scharfzüngigen Kritik an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft berühmt. In seinen Werken beschreibt er den alltäglichen Rassismus; seine Protagonisten durchschauen die Heuchelei und Verlogenheit der herrschenden Verhältnisse.
