The Innocent Abroad

The second half of the 19th century is marked by the growth of realistic tendencies in American literature. The most outstanding American author of this period is Mark Twain.
Mark Twain's real name was Samuel Clemens. He spent his boyhood in Hannibal on the Mississippi River. He told about his boyhood in the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. When he was 12, his father died and the boy had to earn his own living. He worked as a printer and afterwards as a pilot on the Mississippi River. America, as it was in fact, passed before his eyes. He was beginning to know his country. He was 27 when his first sketches and stories began to appear under his pen-name - Mark Twain.
Soon Mark Twain was acknowledged as the best short story writer in America. He published, with great success, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", "The Innocents Abroad", "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", "The Prince and the Pauper", etc.
Mark Twain started as a humorist. In many of his stories and pamphlets he is a just and severe critic of capitalist America. He shows the power of gold that rules the country, the hypocrisy and ignorance of the ruling classes and exposes the social injustice of America.
Mark Twain visited Russia as a journalist. He was fascinated by Yalta. The Crimean Mountains reminded him of his favourite Sierra Nevada range, and he wrote in his diary that he wished he could speak Russian.
