About the author

Mark Twain
Mark Twain

American humorist and journalist whose travel books Roughing It, Life on the Mississippi, and The Innocents Abroad are classics of American nonfiction. His late essays, especially 'The War Prayer' and 'To the Person Sitting in Darkness,' are scathing anti-imperialist satires. He invented a distinctly American journalistic voice.
