The Biography of Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne Clemens was a famous American writer and humorist. He was better known by his pen friend Mark Twain. Perhaps, everybody knows about the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The author of these stories was Mark Twain. He was born in Florida, Missouri on November 30th, 1835. When he was four years old his family moved to Hannibal in Missouri. It was a port town on the Mississippi River, which inspired the fictional town in “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. He was only eleven when his father died and he soon began working as a printer’s apprentice and contributor of funny sketches. When he was 18 he left the town to work in New York, Philadelphia and some other large cities as a printer. Mark Twain travelled a lot. While being on the voyage to New Orleans he met Horace E. Bixby, who was a steamboat pilot and who later inspired a young author to become a pilot too. He soon obtained a steamboat pilot license. Until 1861 he worked as a pilot. He also persuaded his brother Henry to work together. In 1858 Henry died in steamboat explosion. It was known that Mark Twain foresaw this accident in his dream. In 1876 he wrote “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”. This book became popular not only with kids but also with adults. It was translated nearly into every language in the world. The book was such a success that in 1884 he wrote “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. Later he also wrote “Tom Sawyer Abroad”, “Tom sawyer the Detective” etc. There were many other books written by Mark Twain but the stories about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn brought him world fame.
Dear friend, best wishes, I am writing to you. I received your letter, for which I thank you very much.
I still spend a vacation in the countryside, visiting the grandparents. I like it very much, so stay here until the end of the summer. I have made many friends here. We are with them while having fun: play soccer, go swimming in the river, in the woods to pick berries. Guys - good, catchy.
I help my grandmother. She has a small farm: chickens, rabbits and goats.
With a couple of times a grandfather go fishing. I get up very early, when still only just beginning to lighten when the grass is still lying under the weight of morning dew. It caught perch, crucian carp, roach. Father I have experienced fisherman, so we never returned without a catch.
From the first fishing we always meet the cat Vaska. Oh, he was a lover of fish to eat! But my friend, dog, fish does not eat, and accompanies us on a fishing trip. It is with us until the end. Well, the third straight angler!
The weather is a real summer. Many sunny days, in the gardens of brewing a good harvest. And what nature here! You leave in the morning on the porch of the house, - and you are met by a green sea of trees, bushes, various paint colors, the singing of birds. Here - it's not you in the city. Then a day rich in new discoveries, new studies.
I also went to the village library - read many works that we asked for extracurricular reading. But honestly, read boring when everyone around you is full of life. I read just before bedtime, and even then not every day. Sometimes for a day so tired that my eyes just do stick together.
The days pass very quickly. Coming to school, but to be honest, it is not even desirable. I would like, however, to see you and the other guys. We talked b.
Write - how to relax you, what do you know about our. Tell them hello if you see.
Write. I will be glad.
Bye.
Your friend
