Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910),[1] better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He is most noted for his novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel."
Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which would later provide the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. He apprenticed with a printer. He also worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to his older brother Orion's newspaper. He achieved great success as a writer and public speaker. His wit and satire earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty. However, he lacked financial acumen. Though he made a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he squandered it on various ventures and was forced to declare bankruptcy.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835, to a Tennessee country merchant, John Marshall Clemens (August 11, 1798 – March 24, 1847), and Jane Lampton Clemens (June 18, 1803 – October 27, 1890). Twain was the sixth of seven children. When Twain was four, his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, a port town on the Mississippi River that inspired the fictional town of St. Petersburg in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Missouri was a slave state and young Twain became familiar with the institution of slavery, a theme he would later explore in his writing. Twain’s father was an attorney and a local judge. In March 1847, when Twain was 11, his father died of pneumonia.
His first success as a writer came when his humorous tall tale, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," was published in a New York weekly, The Saturday Press, on November 18, 1865. It brought him national attention. Twain wrote many of his classic novels, among them The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), The Prince and the Pauper (1881), Life on the Mississippi (1883), The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889).
Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, in Redding, Connecticut, one day after the comet's closest approach to Earth. He is buried in his wife's family plot at Woodlawn Cemetery in Elmira, New York. His grave is marked by a 12-foot monument, placed there by his surviving daughter, Clara.[42] There is also a smaller headstone.

The Best Place To Visit In Pusan
The best place to know Korea
Busan has so many fascinating places to visit. One of the most exotic places I recommend for a sightseeing is Seomyeon Eating Alley. It is said that food is a mixture that reflects culture, history and people. When you come near the area, you’ll feel that you’ve already assimilated into this community. The smells of a variety of indigenous dishes attract you to the wondrous world regardless of your intention. Although the images of some traditional foods are a bit strange, the palatable foods will satisfy your desire to experience the Korean cultural legacy. You probably come across local residents who show what the lifestyle of ordinary Koreans is and share opinions with you about current Korean issues. Some restaurants offer you foods that will remind you of the tenacious Koreans who endured the distressing life in the past, others give you luxurious, cozy atmosphere in which you can enjoy delicious fusion Korean food. Seomyeon Eating Alley is the place where the old and contemporary Korea coexist. The convenient way to go there is to take Subway number 1 to Seomyeon
