Auteur

  • Mark Twain (auteur)

    Mark Twain, de son vrai nom Samuel Clemens, est né en 1835 dans le Missouri et mort en 1910 dans le Connecticut. Il est l’un des premiers auteurs américains à utiliser ses origines sudistes pour créer ses personnages et situations romanesques. Lorsque la guerre de Sécession éclate, il fuit dans les montagnes du Nevada et devient chercheur d’or, cette expérience donnera lieu à des romans discrets (À la dure, en 1872). C’est avec la publication en 1876 de Tom Sawyer puis en 1885 d’Huckleberry Finn, que Mark Twain devient connu du grand public. La reconnaissance littéraire ne viendra que plus tard, avec les commentaires d’Hemingway et de Faulkner, qui voient en Mark Twain le père fondateur du roman américain.
