Mark Twain – Literary pseudonym of Samuel Langhorn Clemens, is an American writer, journalist and comedian. He is best known for his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Born in Florida, in a small town in the state of Missouri, USA, on November 30, 1835, this year. the world celebrated 185 years since its birth. At the beginning of the 20th century, Twain was considered “the greatest American humorist of his time” and William Faulkner called him “the father of American literature.” Years later, Ernest Hemingway wrote: “All modern American literature comes from a book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
In 1909, Twain said:

comet in 1835

The Almighty has undoubtedly said: “Here are two inexplicable phenomena: they came together, they must go together.” His prediction came true: Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910, a day after the comet’s closest distance to Earth.
